Icon2 N00b question

for some reason, im not really satisfied with how my car is sitting as of now. i mean, my car IS lowered and my tires are already almost gonna hit the fender lining. but i dont get how people can slam their cars without having any fitment issues. how is this possible without using bags? i want to slam my car like a "scraper" but at the same time be able to drive it (sounds contradictory, i know). im riding on my steelies as of now (205/65/15) but my car is still sitting kinda high. i'll get some pix up for reference soon. i just need help with figuring out how to slam my car lower. my brother told me that my car is slammed already but i think i got eye problems or something cause it aint working for me. lol. can anyone with a "scraper" set up tell me their suspension drop, wheel and tire sizes??? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perfect drop... dont touch it.

Slamming a car is mostly for Photographic purposes, most actually re raise the car to drive home. With a slammed car the suspension has no movement and can not work correctly.

thanks for the input. i guess somethings wrong with my eyes... idk but i feel the urge to slam it some more... maybe. btw, i got pulled over for no front license plate. let this be a warning to those who are lucky enough to have escaped the police. 2 thumbs down for sdpd, why cant they focus more on people who actually do crimes than people who dont have front license plates? what a waste of our tax money...

Default slammed

after seeing pistures of your ride the height of your car does look like you just have stock suspension and 18" rims. The link below is a picture of my buddy's 04 sedan it has 18" rims and tein springs -1.5". since this picture he has chopped his stock springs 2" to lower it more and is sitting on 17" rims. Oh yeah its a daily driver 30miles around trip from house to work. Just ride slow homie.
