Default Just lowered my car



My koni yellows


The other one



As you can see the driver side has settled more than the passenger side(the car was on jacks on the passenger side for a bit longer)


You can kinda see how low it is but mainly i thought the lights looked cool in this one


Lookin her up.....


...and down

She's still got to settle a little bit, so she's not slammed all the way

I like it...it handles a lot better i guess thats what matters...what do you guys think?

or ?

taking your hubcaps off does not make your car a race car or the general lee, take those numbers off!

Damn i forgot to photoshop the word "Racecar" off my hood.....my friend drives a car at a local speedbowl, that is his number...not mine...and my hubs are just about as black as my steelies are....

its not like you just made yourself look really dumb or anything

I dont even know why you would post something like that, when did i say i took my hubs off and put my friends racecars number on my car to make it look like a race car....

i don't know about you guys but 9 times out of 10 im the only person riding in my car and because of that the driver side will start to "sag" a little bit lower than the passenger side due to the added amount of weight. the springs on driver side would eventually sit a bit lower, at least that's what i always thought (it made perfect sense to me). i hated it because no matter what i did i always had that problem. my remedy was a nice set of skunk2 coilovers and kyb agxs, now i don't have any problems.

No such thing as springs/struts settling
learned that from the eibach tour

if your car's newly lowered, why are you just posting front and rear shots?
