both of those tc look good....but they just arent quite low enough....

and lobalt....did you have anything leftover from your tc?? if so i might need some spare parts PM me

in my opinion with some 15mm spacers this will look great



and it gets driven like that and the roads around here are no where near smoothe just have to be careful and know how to drive with it.

edit: as a matter of fact you can see how rough the drive way is on my way in...if i park on my way in you can barely slide an envelope between the ground and the side skirt

Your car is actually a lil too low for me to be honest. I am really happy with amount of drop the tC has. It retained the ride quality and is still safe for normal daily driving, though I am slighly concerned about running a lip kit on it now.

sorry i didnt mean to sound really harsh. its really to each his own. but i just think its tucking way to much, the wheels are sitting into the wheel well too much(as you stated spacers may help), and the color scheme doesnt seem to work too well

understood...

like i said i plan on raising it a little...and putting on spacers because i agree it is sitting way to far in...and the color isnt justified in pictures...in real life the color works more...i wish it was a slightly lighter shade of gold but i dunno...

Nope, I dont have anything left of the car, just the guage pod thing I turned into a picture frame (lol)... and I wouldnt raise ur car if i were you, it looks GREAT like that, but... the lower the better I say. I know the ride quality sux on a hammered car, but it comes w/ it, and i LOVE it! But when problems come up, then guess its btr to be raised. I'm gonna take the balt lower, its still too high for me...I'd like to bag it one day. But i'm more of a lowrider person anyway, so... not alot of ppl do like the hammered tucking look like i do....

In the end if each party is happy with their own vehicle thats all that matters.

Cav's look goofy bagged, in the rear the wheel sits too far forward otherwise they wouldn't look bad.

it actually tucks in pretty bad....how that guy figured it from those pics i dont know....

but yea like 3* front 2* rear....no ill effects either....hmmph
Too much negative camber decreases the contact patch and conversely grip. -3* is twice as much negative camber as most (especially fwds) run.

I want to Bag my balt.......seriously, who would I want to talk to? I want to talk about spacing to a flush/ slightly poked stance, with camber. Also would like spacers to be a different bolt pattern. But airbag suspension is definitely the way to go for me!! These are some of my Dub buddies!
My buddies second place winner in overall MKIV 2009. Bagged.

Hey Will. Is your car currently mobile or is it in pieces in the garage again?
