Well, you know my shots well enough to know that that's all the lens doing the work, bud...I'm just the camera's fluffer...it does all the real work
Thanks though John...

Kix, you're welcome man...I'm always looking to see how low people are with how aggressive the camber is (or not).

Silversurfer, very clean car man...I think those are Aaron's rims too (or close)...nice stance...I'd suggest going a little lower on the back...if you use the tires to determine perfect level, once you get low enough you start seeing the car has a very raked look. If you drop the back 1/2" it'll flatten it out much better.

Do I still qualify? Played around with the setting today and came up with this height but the damn shocks in front are blown. Need to get a new set but I think I found my height setting.

^When going over speed bumps or small road dips, I was getting thuds even prior to lowering. I had her up on the hoist today and saw that the front driver side was leaking oil. Thats was the dagger that finalized it. The previous owner did have the car super slammed.
Now Im just researching on the best bang for the buck coil system. Need to find a set asap. Either F&F / BC / Megan

Best bang for the buck (IMO) are the Tein Super Street Advance or the ISC N1's.

I was looking at the Tein Basics. They are not dampening adjustable but I hear good things about them other than the fact you cant slam.
I havent decided on 18's or 19's yet so I dont want to have to switch suspension later due to "GAP". It only drops 2.9" front and 2.6" rear. I wont be able to get this set up I have now with those specs.

^ I love my Tein Basics. They can't go crazy low like some of the other brands but they go plenty low enough. Quality > Quantity

ok, at risk of Tyler calling me a whooreee...

Here's my setup, TEIN maxed on 19's with camber corrected (which you know brings the car back up). It looks similar to your NEW stance (not the way it was slammed all the way). This is TEIN SS, and I've read that you can actually get a set of shorter springs to put on your coilover system if you wanted to go even lower.
