    Newly repainted wheels, which do you like best?

    Alright, it's now slammed all the way down, which is supposed to be a 4" drop, but it's not. Anyway, it's althe way down, with the gunmetal and silver wheels on one side, and the other side is black and gunmetal. I'll be taking some different pics of the gunmetal/black as the pictures didn't come out right. Then compare and tell me which you like best.

    You used coilovers right?

    You have to cut the lower perch off of the struts. It will go much lower then.

    It's hard to see your wheels in the pics, but I think the black looks better.

        So unless I cut the strut perch, this is as low as it will possibly go? And as far as the pics being dark, yes, I know they're dark, and new ones will be posted soon.

              What coilovers did you get?

              If they are already all the way down, then the easiest way to get them to go lower is to do this:

                Or you can just take the coil out and remove the bumpstops for the ultimate drop.

                  That sounds like a comfortable ride.
