amen to that. Plus blowing through shocks is no good.

I think it looks good there. But that's my opinion.

my car is low, ride quality isnt bad.

if you spend more money on quality suspension you get a good ride... no matter how low you go, you cant prevent the underside of the car from hitting the ground

Um... im pretty sure fourthgenb17 knows what he is talking about. Just cause the car doesnt hit the ground doenst mean it has a great ride quality.

Good rolling shot. I think you bumped the contrast too far up though. The white is too blown out. There was a time when I enjoyed pics like that though. I even edited a few like that.

if your car is low the ride quality is bad. trust me. thats what makes ride quality is suspension travel and if you remove that the quality goes away. unless you have 4" extended top hats you"ll never have the quality that you started with

eg/dc forks are the exact dimension as EF forks, except the diameter where the strut is inserted. they wont make it lower. plus they wont even fit EF specific struts.

Yeah, this is my first time using photoshop, so I'm experimenting with what I can do. I literally got it like 12 hours ago.

As for the "dumped" comment, I didn't mean the car is dumped, it's just been lowered a lot from where it used to be. Remember? 4 inch wheel gap?

And if it went any lower, the muffler would be on the ground, and the wheel wouldn't turn all the way without rubbing immensely.

What it comes down to is, it's not your car, it's Pixie's car. And from what I can tell, it's exactly the way she wants it. She's building it for herself, not some audience. She actually wants her car to stand out a little. Not look like every other EF out there with a red pinstripe and a stock emblem. And from what she's told me her plans are, this is only the beginning. So you guys better be ready to hate for awhile.

What it comes down to is you and her posted pics of it so, im entitled to my opinion of the car. If you dont want to hear it, dont post. I think no pinstripe would of looked much better.

I don't know about you, but I like to drive my car, not just sit there and look at it. I feel that if your car is dumped to the ground, then of course it's gonna be bad ride quality on city streets. Especially here in New Mexico. I'm not about to mess up my car just for a sick stance.

I've heard people say that, but I've also heard equally as many say the opposite. I like it, and I plan on applying that color to other parts of my car so it all comes together.

Thanks for the comments, guys. My ride definitely isn't gonna please everyone who looks at it, but it pleases me and that's why I'm building it the way I am. I appreciate the positive and negative feedback, that's why we post photos here in the first place.

As for Kyoh's photos, he's a wonderful photographer, and photoshop is just a new deal for him. Give it some time, he's learnin'.

You can always get full coilovers that adjust in height from the shock body.

I have seen snaps of some of the shoes he has interest in, when he posted on nwp

and even coming from a black guy with flashy taste himself, the shoes he has purchased should be knifed and burned
