Default ahhh so nice to sit level (almost) once again

Well I've been riding stock GS-R springs on Koni shocks (perches on lowest setting) for the past 6 months or so since I sold my GC's to Alexander. I loved how the front sat, but the rear looked retarded it was so high in comparison to the front:



Now I'm running ITR rear springs, and still on the GS-R front springs, with the Konis on the lowest perches, and it sits much better now.



I haven't done a nice photoshoot of my car in almost a year... one of these days Imma get around to it since I got this nice new Canon 5MP camera that actually takes good pics (compared to my old 1.3MP Canon).

maybe if you put the jack all the way down it would fit under then

I'm sorry but your car doesn't look that low

say what, first pic it looks like a damn hot rod stance. The ITR rear springs brought it down another 3/4" or so.

It's not meant to be very low, the point is that it's lower than stock using OEM springs and good shocks.

My damn floor jack can only go a minimum of like 4.75"-5" or so, and it won't fit under my radiator support unless I use my plywood ramps.

Well sure it would look better lower, but for daily driving and practicality, and a blend of both comfort and performance, this is where it stays.

Nope, it's stock springs on Koni shocks, with the Koni spring perches set to the lowest setting.

This little thing called a house mortgage I just got approved for this past Friday.
