maybe, until I get my new rims I might drop it more, its barely a finger gap, it rubs when I hit some corners, Ill see if I raise it up probably not though lol.

Damn I miss my lip now, oh well time to try to fine another good deal on it.

looks good
looks about how low mine is, if the rubbing is from the front, it's probably rubbing the spots in the wheel wells like mine... ground a couple spots right down to the metal, check it out next time you're car is on jacks
also i can't hit big bumps or else my frame rail slams the ground, got some good scrapes on that too
have fun

Nice drop, did you get the Type 2's? Did you adjust the preload at all? Mine just came in last week. Not looking forward to rubbing and scraping.

im throwing this out there as an idea that i think would be dope as hell.

i think you should get inch spacers all the way around, and some extended studs. then get some smaller tires on the stock wheels and drop the car even lower.

i think that would give it a really unique look. i'm saying this because i love those wheels with that color car, and creating some stance would set it off.

Not a bad idea, thats something I would think of doing if I dont get my rims soon, but I dont know if I will, but I will keep that in mind, thanks.

Thanks,chris, scott and everybody else, I still want to to go a tad lower but I dont know what rims to get... and our streets arent that great either but you have to maneuver your way around.

Im thinking should I re-tint my windows or leave it as is,what do you guys think?

from what i've seen on mine..it's kinda hard to go much lower..unless you adjust the suspension preload so that you will rub the same or less when the suspension compresses and be lower when the car is stationary
what kinda rim style are you looking at?
weren't you the one with the axis's before... looking to go back to something like that?
...or more race style
...or more like flip's ...JDM and mesh style

ehhh those Axis were cool and all but they are 19s, I dont want those anymore, Im looking for something like Flips style, something along those lines maybe 17s, as far as lowering it more I think I can pull it off, who knows maybe not, I wont know until I get the rims I want but who knows when thats going to happen

let me know, or PM me what you're looking for.
i should be picking up my wheels in june-ish from my buddy, and can prolly take a look at that time at what else he's got, he has mostly JDM stuff, like work, rays, SSR's etc... (all used, like flips)
