Looks good...

But in every picture you're at a different height...

Just remove those mud guards... or at least angle them a little if intend on plowing the streets...

Dope!!!

i spy an EG lols and aftermarket wheels on the RX.
i love the drop, but not feeling the wheels too much.
look into the axis widetracks. those would look awesome on your car and i dont think anyone got them on a 3G TL.

It's impressive that it goes that low, but with the top of teh wheel slightly tucked into the fender, I am already scraping on like every driveway. I can't imagine that this is driveable.

those Volks i borrowed from my brother since mine were all bald, but I bought all new tires now so Im back on rjs, that are wider. im not new to wheels and offsets. when i have enough saved new wheels will be ordered.
the reason i can drive that low and not scrape as much is because the volks are so narrow, though i can only turn the wheel from 12-3oclock before i bend the fender. btw the mudflaps are already eating away by the road.
the wheels on the RX are the ones in my avatar.
im not going for vip, and its on megan coilovers. reason for the 1st n 2nd pic at diff height was becasue the front pass side had not been installed yet.
thanks for all the comments.

I scrape all over the place at my height, I couldn't drive at your height. You must not have speedbumps or dips where you live.

I need me some megans..

has anyone blown their megans yet for being LOW? And i mean this low, not a mild "drop" like mine.

anybody replaced CV boots?

I hope you have camber kits for front and back ktran.. I'm sure you're aware of the tire wear.

my fronts are already showing some inner camber wear.. I put my new t1r's 2 months ago. SMH
