heres my old hatch i had with it dumped as low as i could take it on my egay coilovers. thats like 3-4 inches....and this is with 18x7.5's

i had negative camber in the front and in the rear i had it as flush as possible without the rims/tires hitting the fenders. and the front and rear lips were also rolled.


DONT HATE!!!!

i hat 17 in enkeis on my 91 si hatch and they rubbed on stock springs when goin over the smallest bump. got some 15s after selling the 17s to some ricer kid with an automatic fo doe (he needed wheels to go with his giant gay *** wing lmao). im still on stock springs. roads around here would be brutal to my car if i did lower it any.
