How low can I go....
Washed and detailed my car over this pass weekend and decided to see how low can I go. Just one teaser pic for now.

Don't worry I'm not riding THAT low. I'm just trying to see how long I can go on my car. I can still go low but I didn't wanna adjust it too low. Eventhough I raise it up to 2 finger gap, my front lip still scrap >_<

That height would look SICK with another photoshoot with LA as the backdrop.

But that height is definitely not a feasible driving height if you live around there.

Either way, your car looks awesome We should do a photoshoot this summer.

I ran over a tire a month ago on the freeway and crack it in half. I am getting it fix and adding a CF lip extension.

If you are not adding a body kit yes it is do able. Maybe the OEM bodykit is more suitable....

What suspension are you running?
Also were you able to find camber kits for the RL?

I have the H&R coilovers waiting to be installed, but I haven't been able to find a set of front and rear camber kits...

That pic looks VIP without the over-the-top rims. It actually looks good. Too bad you'll scrape the lip if you stay that way, but you already know that. Adjustable coilovers FTW!

I think Airrunner make a custom kit for the RL. JIC makes a custom coil over as well.

Car looks sweet!!! I just picked up an 06' Anthracite/Blk RL last weekend and can't wait to start modding it. Your wheels fit nice.... and I like the sidewall on the tires. What size are they? Offset?

Very nice setup!

wow! went staggered on the awd... how is it working for you? i'm sure the look from the rear is MEAN with those fat tires. i'm debating on 19's or 20's. had 19's on the TL and want to step up but i don't know yet. yours fit nicely though. how's the ride? any rubbing issues?

I just lowered that much to see how it would look. For sure if I ride like that it would rub. I have 2 finger gaps all around and no rubbing. I even took it up to some winding roads and still no rubbing issue. Yes I love the staggered look. When I had my TL, I was running 19s with 275 tires on the rear. I didn't have any rubbing issue and I had my rear fender rolled.
