*pictures* Installed the JICs today..
JIC FLTA2's.. About 2" more to go down in the front. I will post pictures tomorrow of the rear. I had some issues with the rear not going as low as I thought it would. It only sits at the tire in the rear and I am unsure as to why that is. It got too dark and rainy to pull the car out and take decent pictures, look for some tomorrow.

There is a wee-bit too much cambering in the front. I think I need to buy some adjustable control arms or camber arms, whichever they are called. Haven't even driven the car yet, will post results of first drive tomorrow. Raised it up for the initial drive and to save the tires from wearing terribly at that height.
Car has 448 miles on it as of tonight

Looks nice, but prepare to be scraped to hell. I scrape pretty bad with my Tein S-Techs.

Wow, that last picture really shows the excess camber. (and scrapes look like they're going to be inevitable...)
Overall looks great though, like a show car!
Looking forward to hearing how it drives after you get the camber adjusters.

Hey i have the same setup on my car. DUDE honestly you gotta raise it. That car is not driveable.
But please if you know how, tell me how you adjust the back dampening on the back. I cant seem to figure out how to do it. Please let me know.

Re: *pictures* Installed the JICs today..
This is how low I drove my last car around all the time (by all the time I mean weekends .. haha):
I learned how to drive a lowered car when I finally bought JICs for my maxima.. speed bumps just won't work. Luckily where I drive and most any parking lot they are avoidable. I hardly ever scraped.
I will say this, I am not going to chance it on a brand new car, and for now I don't have camber arms so the tires would be toast. That is not as low as the front can go either, I could take it down another few inches as it was...
Once the 20s get here, up up she goes.
Thanks for all the compliments, can't wait to get a bunch of other stuff done on this car. I will take realistic driving pictures today if I get time.
