Yeah, plus more tire gives the illusion of being a bigger gap. I bet some 18" or 19" wheels would make the gap look even smaller.

I used to have a slammed CL on coilovers, yeah it looks great, but it rode like shit and made more noise than the tin man.

Now i run a moderate 2 finger drop and the car rides like stock with no rattles. I always feel like I wish it was lower, but I've been there and can't take the poor ride comfort.

As long as you are happy, thats what matters.

Hey that silver CL-S is my CL! Thanks nspec_ya4 lol. It sits pretty low. The fronts are lowered all the way down and the rears are a little bit higher (slighty). I like the drop a lot, but it can be a pain with the roads where I live. They're going to get raised up in a month because of winter. God bless coilovers.

I think your car looks great man, the drop is pretty nice. It's all about personal taste. It'll look way better with 18"s though! I myself am waiting anxiously to buy a set.

Your stance is great because its still functional compared to the guys that scrap on driveways and speed bumps

May I ask what setup you went with?

Also if I may ask what exhaust is that?

Personally, it's not my type of wheel design, but I think they look very clean. If that's what you want, you should get it. What fitment are you thinking of?

I'm not sure if you want to get them that wide though. You might have issues with rubbing.

Well since we have the same setup what are your wheel dimensions? Cuz the only options with those rims are 18 x 7 or 18 x 8.5 with offset 35 or 48.

My Kyowa's are 18x7.5 with a 42 offset. I'm also running narrow 215/45/18 tires and I still rub from time to time. I'm hoping the stiffer Eibach Struts will stop the rubbing all together.

go with 8.5 + 48. My 19x8 +51 can tuck with weight in the back. You would have to roll the rear fenders that's all.
