first wash in 3 months...

i have never posted a picture of my ride on here so no better time than after a wash. i have an LS so flame suit on...

only mods are:
18" Drag DR-12 rims wrapped with 215/40-18 Toyo Proxes T1-R tires
28% tint in front 15% in back



next im going to get springs but i want ones that will give me more of a raked stance (not sportlines). then it will look like this:



what do ya guys think?

also what are the best springs that will drop less in the back? i hate the sagging look in the back that sportlines give on some cars. i know pedders are a raked stance but im only going for appearance and they cost like 340

at very least get the ss/tc springs which are about a 1.5" drop all around, def takes away the 4x4 look. imo go with some h&r or ssc springs for a much better looking drop tho

i washed it with meguiar's NXT gen wash... no wax or anything, just wash and towel dry.

as for the drop, i definitely want a big drop not just an inch but i want the drop in the front to be as much or nearly as much as the back.

for example:
sportlines 2.0F 2.5R (too much rear)

what i want is like 2.0F 2.0R

any ideas?

Progressive, drop is listed at 1 and 1.5 seems to be a little more than that. Type in CM lowering springs cobalt on ebay they are 172 shipped. Canuck Motorsports is the same as ssc, they bought them out or somethin

the rear drops more. since the rear sits higher. get any set they will all make the ride look better. ever thought of painting the rims? i think black would look really nice. ps nice clean car. lmk if you want a shorty antenna
