im gonna be putting some 15in slips on my car and i wanted to know how much of a drop looks best? ive seen some drops i like but im not sure how much they are lowered. heres a pic of how low it is now. how much more should i go?
Well if you are gunna run that same size tire then about 1 more inch front and back will look dope. Your car looks hard as **** on those fat-fives though.

thanks guys i dont wanna go super low even tho i love the way it looks. i live in pittsburgh pa aka. home of the most monsterous car eating potholes so i cant drop it alot. just looking for a drop that doesnt make 15's look small. i am gonna run the same size tire when i put them on too.

i live in beautiful california where everything is perfect and i still wouldn't rock it that low. i call that the "high school drop." unless of course my car was purpose built, not a daily driver like yours obviously is.

yea i hear that. my old da was slammed and i couldnt even get out of my garage. 4in is way too low. anyone know if theese are 15's or 16's?

i like that not super low not a big wheel gap either.

I think it looks fine...though I'm not into the totally slammed looked it probably could go about another inch or inch and a half with the slips on there. Just my opinion though, i think 4 inches is way too low especially dealing with scraping and ride quality it sucks
^^ Those look like 16's to me^^

those are 16's most definately. if you expect 15's to look anything like that you will be sadly dissapointed. polished 15" slips look very small because of that nice lip they have.
your 15" fat fives will seem bigger looking than 15" polished slips...
