New pics, Lowered and washed

Hi

just some update on my car.
finally lower my car with the sports suspension (springs and shocks)

I took my car in to TWS today and have them put it in for me.
after I came back home, I washed the car and took some pics.

enjoy it











i know some of you mgiht still think my car sit too high, but with that reiger lip, I think that is low enough.
Any lower than that will give me a very hard time driving it.

no need to lower...but maybe some side skirts will make the car look lower and still be functional.

prob won't drop anymore
but my tires need to be replace within few month, so what I am thinking about getting new set of wheels, but don't know if I should get 19 or just stay with 18.
Cause of the road cond in L.A, it realy pushes back to stay with 18

what do you guys say??

lowered huh?

why does my '05 with stock suspension still look lower than this?

I'd trade off having a lower car than having that add-on reiger lip any day of the week.

"road conditions in la" don't be a wuss. I live in LA and am running 19's in both cars. Drex has 19's, Frank used to run 19's, TONs of members from LA run 19's and have had absolutely no problems.

you have 19, that's probably why it looks lower
if that's the case, then I will go with 19's rather than 18's

are you positive? that looks more like the C32 or the pre-04.5 sport suspension height to me.

here's a pic of AdamVax's car on stock suspension with the 19" the gap should not be that much different than yours, but it is.

either way...if you like it

edit:found a pic of stock height on 18"

yenchau, i am very dissapointed that you told me you were going out of town, and wanted me to hold the springs i have for you, and did not even send a courtesy email to let me know.

i am over it, but i think its just a little courtesy.

your car looks higher than mine stock.

I had so much hope for you after you did that DIY! This justification for not getting 19's makes you digress. Road conditions in L.A. are nothing compared to New York!

Ugh... More mis-information. 19's DO NOT make a car look lower than cars with 18's or 17's. Please don't start doing that again.
