If you got sportlines thats how low they go. IMO they are a waste for a drop spring.

if you want to be slammed, springs are not the way. coilovers are your only option or if you want to ghetto it up and bounce like a POS, start cutting coils

Saw this car in the "Show off your aftermarket wheel thread". Im seriously looking to get this low, would ksports be able to do this? These are 17's with 215/40 as stated by the person who posted this car in the thread. I have 17's and would want a bit meatier tire but less than a 215/45 maybe a 205/45.



Maybe I would go a bit higher, not much.

Nope, Remedy inspired though!.. These ones are 20's and have the chrome lip. I believe his were 19s with the polished lip

I wanna play.

Don't mind the rust. It was owned by someone up north before coming into my possesion. Anywho, my center sub-frame brace is less than 1" from the ground and gets caught up if I drive on gravel.....lol.



Pinch welds are about 2" off the ground.



And the whole car. Sorry, I like to ***** this shot out, because quite frankly it's the only decent picture I have of my car basically....haha.



Oh and here was a shot of when I bought it bone stock, pre-slam. I kind of miss the driveability, but I will never go back to dook status ever again!
