Me thinks you need some crazy camber out back to pull off the look. Maybe some spacers.

I've never seem the appeal of being super dumped...

Not to drive this completely OT, but "form follows function".

Coilovers initial purpose was to be able to achieve perfect center of gravity, which is also based almost entirely on your ride height. Dumped is, against all popular belief, NOT the perfect center of gravity. Most cars perfect center of gravity is only around 1-2" lower than OEM ride height.

To the OP, your car is SUPER clean, and I dig the amount of work, money, and time that's gone into it, the dumped look just aint my thang.

I got them from one of the vendors on this forum, M1autosport.

Not exactly sure why most people get them, but I was looking to dump my car, heard these will do more than what I'm looking for (so true because as mentioned it was 1" lower and I couldn't turn my tires much), and I don't see too many people with them so I thought I'd give em a shot.

Yeah I need to get a camber kit for the front and rear and I'll be getting spacers as well soon. I'm not too worried about the camber as I don't really like the tires that are on there right now. They came with plenty of tread when I got the 19's and I want to use them till it's time to get new ones.

Haha, couldn't do it without your guidance. I'mma stop by your place on Tuesday probably. Did you finish your headlight mod?

I am. I have a FS thread with several people interested so I still gotta check back with everyone, but I'm going by first to come up with the money is the first to get them, but I might see if I can work out something with BlackoutG to see if he can do some sort of headlight mod.

Thanks, and I have no problem with opposing opinions because that's what they are, opinions. Some people like it, some people don't. As long as the person doing it is happy, then that's what truly matters.

Glad that we can agree to disagree, and do so nicely. I'd love to see some pics of the car with just the top of the tire tucking in the rear and about 1/2-3/4 of the tire tucking up front!

All ride quality aside, how aggressive do these coils handle?

I don't have all that much to go by and it's tough to really test out the handling. I have been driving like a granny since I got them and will try to do a bit of aggressive driving once I raise it just a tad more. I'll be able to know tomorrow more than likely.
