Monster truck part II
So a while back I posted my car and yes it was a monster truck. Finally got my Coilovers from Corsport a few weeks ago and put it on a week ago at work. Anyway here is it slightly lowered. PS I don't care for the "slammed" look as I am not looking to win any shows since this car will be the daily and occasionally autocrossing for now until I finish up my other car. Also I like the fact I can still barely get on the alignment rack at work. Anyway here are the pics:

It could just be the pics, but the rear looks a little lower than the front, I would suggest lowering the front about a half inch.
Just out of curiosity, why spend so much on coilovers to achieve the same stance that springs and struts would do at a much lower cost?
Otherwise, car is looking good. Specs on wheels / tires?

17x9.5 enkei rpf1's, 255/40r17 nexen n3000.
The rear might look a bit lower because it is cambered in 2.3 degrees on both sides. Its still the same height if you take a tape measure to it also.
I went with the coil overs because I like adjustability. I like to play with pre load when I go on the track to set it up. Also I like the fact if I do want to go lower I can just lift the car turn some collars instead of having to search for a different set of springs to alter your drop. Now I just need to find some scales to balance this thing out.
Thanks.

Thanks guys. I might rake it a little. Probably gonna raise the rear about a 1/4-1/2 an inch due to it rubbing on the big stuff. So far the turn in was definitely a lot better than stock. I still need to calculate the rear spring rate since it is quite a bit stiffer and definitely helps the car rotate through turns.

The stretch would probably make it look like crap as mentioned. A previous member did run 225/235 setup as I recall on this offset or maybe it was just 235 all around.
As for fender work the rears are rolled but need a little more...(buddies eastfield roller got jacked). They still clear but very close. The front is stock no fender work there.
Thanks everyone.
