They don't slam the car..it's about 3/4" to 1". The 2nd pic of the front 3/4 shot looks good. I have em on and would NOT want to be any lower. I already scrape the lower lip on drive ways..etc.

Scroll so that you have BOTH before and after wheels in view...about split between the 2 pics. You'll see the difference. Not much, but it's about an inch.

I guess to those who are more "slammed" it does not look like much, but to me it is perfect, it really reduced the wheel gap, they are as settled as they get, the ride is amazing! I cannot wait till I get my OTTP rear sway bar!

Before front

After front

Car drives like its on rails now, sometimes in Colorado that is a bad thing, when the roads are rutted the car wants to pull all over the place! It just follows the tires no matter where they go!

Kinda looks like the car hasn't moved since the before and after. You have to roll it and put weight on it for it to settle. Plus you're on an incline, so the fronts probably won't settle til after a drive.

He He, yeah, I got a bit of rash on that wheel and it would have been worse if there was no rim protector on the tire (the curb took that right off!)
