Default Lowering/Camber Question

I've got some F&F T1's (save your hate ) and my car is decently lowered, about half way of the coilovers lowering capability and I am satisfied with the look, ride, feel and all.

My question is, if I were to fully lower it or "slam" it, will I get a certain look..

This is the look I'm aiming to get.


It's only for a photo shoot and not permanent. But with my wheel/tire setup, I don't know if it's going to look similar to that with that much negative camber. I'm rocking Enkei RPF1's on 205/50/R15's and I believe it's a +41 offset... If I fully lower it, will I land somewhere in that region, in the pic above? I don't really want to waste my time doing so because I don't have a proper jack, just the factory one, and it will take me some time to do them all.

Here's how it sits now.


Am I just aiming blindly and is this more of a wheel/offset issue rather than ride height alone?

Really? Because a buddy of mine has a similar stance and he's on springs only. Maybe he does have different control arms, haven't checked though. Oh well, I just wanted to know. I like how my car sits now, this was just for some pictures.

Thanks. I don't wanna false advertise, it is a single cam motor But yea, until I get a dual cam motor swap in the future, I will rock it. I think, or maybe remove the "SOHC" part lol

You're never going to get that look without:

1) lower offset wheels
2) some kind of camber kit
3) stretched tires
4) a very stiff suspension
