Looks good. So I see you didn't go with the F2's... Hows the ride?

From the looks of it I'm about as low as you are. Say goodbye to your balljoints, endlinks, and possibly axles. But good luck anyway.
Maybe raise the front?

Drop the back some more and you will be set. The stockies look decent IMO with the drop.

basically leave the front alone, drop the back more to where u body lines up with the ground.

these k-sports will go lower than luda's ever seen before

this was my drop with the ksports.


if'd go any lower, i couldnt really turn easily.

I know you want to drop it more but how are your local roads? You should really consider this if you want to save your other suspension parts...
Everyone on here is going to tell you slam it. I would have told you the same just last year. I mean the car looks sick slammed. But now I know better.

i just wanna line up the body with the ground... the back sits a inch higher than the front... and the streets around here aren't the best but i dont think they are the worst maybe a few bumps here and there

houston has the worst streets in america. couple of roads, i can not go over 5mph. everyday pot holes pop up from left and right.

but its still worth having the car this lowered.
