New Ronjon's, New Locations & New Camera! (56k: no)
Hi!
Finally had a free Sunday with some great weather so I took the opportunity to wash my car and take her out on a photoshoot with my new camera. Installed the 19” Legends a couple of weeks ago with some Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, which by the way, are awesome tires! I tried to find some cool locations in Brooklyn, and think I did alright. Next up on my mod list is a roof overlay and then possibly a carbon fiber hood. I also definitely want to clear the headlights. The question I have is; I know this everyone loves a drop, but how badly do I need one?? The gap is not as bad as I thought it would be and with NYC roads I am afraid to drop her. What do you think? All comments welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the replies... I'm surprised and glad that the overwhelming response wasn't DROP IT!!! 
Thanks. The ride is actually really nice... better than the 18's I had on previously with Pirelli Pzero's.
Someone rear-ended me so I had their insurance company buy me an 07 rear bumper cover. Mine is an '05.
Tread definitely looks weird, but I think it looks sick. They are high performance summer tires that were highly regarded on some other forums. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They are relatively inexpensive and perform really well.

Nice and clean. I too am in NY and dropping cars here is tough. I'm already a bit lower than stock but am looking to go more. Maybe a good drop for you would be like 1.5 all the way around? Just to give it a more aggressive stance.

Thanks again for the replies. I appreciate it. For now I am going to skip the drop and take care of some other mods. Maybe next year I will move out of the city and then I won't be afraid to drop her.
Not at all! Pics look better...Thanks!
Thanks Ron! Yep, Liquid Silvers. I E-mailed the pics to the info address on your website. PM me if you want me to send them somewhere else.
Thanks. I bought the rims from another member in the black market and they came with the valve stems... sorry I don't have a better answer.
It is in Red Hook near where they built the new IKEA.

Very nice! Loving it on stock, make me want to keep mine stock even more now.
I just picked up a set of the same rims, waiting for my TPMS sensors to come in, then they're going to be mounted. Can't wait.
