I don't know what it is... I'm kind of with oo7spy on this...

It looks okay... but it looks unbalanced to me some how. Like the front lip or something isn't working well... almost like the wheels look too small for the fenders and quarters...

Clean car and nice drop though.

This. When you slam the RL and tuck the tires into the wells, you begin to see how big the well diameter is, especially in the front. Putting the widest part of the well at the level of the skinniest part of the tire (essentially on the ground) only exacerbates the problem. It's like you completely eliminate one wheel gap and create a whole new one.

Still one of the lowest static RL's put together. I agree, its may be a bit too aggressive on the drop, but I like the look. It's different.

School of hella-flush fitment 101

[QUOTE=oo7spy;14655566]This. When you slam the RL and tuck the tires into the wells, you begin to see how big the well diameter is, especially in the front. Putting the widest part of the well at the level of the skinniest part of the tire (essentially on the ground) only exacerbates the problem. It's like you completely eliminate one wheel gap and create a whole new one.

Simply stated, there ARE three schools of the degree in ride height and if it was not obvious, well it will be...

1st example. OEM with 17 or 18 wheels in a 8J or 8.5J width and conservative offset such as 45 or the stock 55ET, which is fine for the conservative family car that desires a cool look. The camber is zero to 40 minuets as left at the factory.

2nd example. Aftermarket 17 or 18 or 19 in less than or 9J width with a 15mm to 25mm drop, which will give you 1.5 of camber in the rear approx. My take is that most users frequenting this forum are of this mind set, which is perfectly fine.... your taste, my taste, it will never taste the same...Name:  2nd1_zps177cc95e.jpg

3rd example. Japan is the leader in this area of xtreme stance.

1st priority becomes stance orientated and anything after that is acceptable. 19 or 20 diamater wheels with 9 and up to 10.5J width and offset is calculated to 37 down to as low as 15.....

Builders will intentionally decrease offset to compensate for camber as the car is lowered more and more... I will have to validate oo7spy comment and what he stated is on mark...BUT, this silver RL is of this formula and regardless of if you like it or not, took hours of planning and is generally more intense in execution than your slam some HR springs and 18 wheel with 2 finger gap and call it forum cool.... My hat off to you sir, for building a hellaflush stance car in New York!!

I appreciate the slammed stance but the roads where I live barely allow for what would be described as the second stage of lowering.

This is what A spec suspension exits for. It gives almost identical wheel gap all around the circumference of the well.
