Should have gotten bigger wheels (19's or 20's) and you need a drop bad...

Otherwise the wheels R kinda cool lookin.

if i get bigger rims then 17's ill be loosing more power to the wheels due to heavier rims, but yeah, i do need to work on a drop, probably a 1 inch front and half inch back would work for where i live

Lemme suggest the Pro-kit. I wasnt thrilled at first but it worked perfect with my area. gave me an inch in the front and dropped the back level (just over an inch) I have some crappy pics in my gallery but you get the idea

then I think you need to hit up the SSC. according to the suspension basics 101 it will give you more drop in the front than in the back. maybe try them
