Back to the future?:








Going to get some spacers for the fronts. Planning on painting my grill and headlight bezels soon too and looking @ exhaust options

My plan was to be going 88mph @ that moment. My baby's plan was to be having a bottle stopped on a random exit ramp on our way to the beach.

do you rub in the back at all with passengers or when cornering hard.

It may have rubbed once on one of the downhill loop style interstate on-ramps. I've taken the same ramp though since and haven't heard it rub again. One of my front endlinks was busted too so that may have been what I heard Other than that one possible time no rubbing at all even on the few nasty interstate bridge junctions on my daily route and I drive it pretty hard everywhere I go. My dampening is set @ halfway, 8 of 16 so it's pretty soft for as low as it is too, Im suprised it doesnt rub.
Lots of scraping though, not on the roads at all but entrances and exits with any sort of incline are a noisemaker.

Thanks for all the compliments.

A few from this weekend:




Debating on removing the front mudguards, although if I lower the front to match the rear they'll get removed on their own. Ive only been lowered a month and they're pretty tore up underneath already. May get a front lip & Still debating on whether to paint the headlight bezels and grill bronze to match the wheels or black? :shrug:

don't do your headlight housing or grill that shade of bronze. from far away they'll just look like a dirty black.

IMO: Lose the front mudguards (unless the paint is just toooo badly damaged underneath) and yeah, I'm with Mark ^ on the headlight bezels

looks good but I think think the wheels would've looked better in a lighter color. With black wheels, you lose the depth and design of the wheel IMO

Put a bunch of cinderblocks in the car for a temporary "low".

Oops my bad. Didn't read this page, and apparently you're already dropped it.

dvo: I agree. When I get some more aggressive wheels I'll definitely want them to stand out more & of course I wish the lips looked and were deeper on the current ones but they look perfect in person; subtle but very nice.The matte finish on the faces just doesn't like pictures :shrug: & They're actually dark bronze (not black) and the lips are gloss w/metallic. My wheels actually look like dirty black in the last few pics I posted because my car is FILTHY, the car hides it much better than the rims.
Here they are clean:

Very nice! Did I miss it or did you already say what you're dropped on?
