the rear is dropped! Once I get some time, I'll post up a pic. It took 3 hrs and 45 mins to do one side, then 15 minutes to do the other side :cool:

So here's the newest pic I have. Back is dropped on skunk2 shocks and tein s techs. The ride is rigid, much better than the worn out stock parts. Front should be dropped in the next couple weeks.

Your on the right track. Nice start Bro! But as a side note i would match the front stock suspension with the rear otherwise the handling can be affected......... as in premature wear on either front or rear setups due to the different spring ratios. That bad boy is very clean too. Digging it!!=)

The rims are indeed stock sized at 14 inches. They make those in 15s too but I got the 14s so I could throw the tires back on them, I just got them for the meantime...gonna get some gold or bronze 15 inch Rota Grids eventually. And yeah I'm anxious to drop it but gotta get that $650 first :cool:
What an astounding waste of money.

What the hell do spring rates have to do with tire wear?

You actually want the rear to be a bit higher in the back. You don't want the distance between the centercap and the fender to be much smaller than a 12" level line on any of the wheels.

I'm currently about like this: Front Left 12.15" Right 12"
Rear Left 12.40 Right 12.25"

Front doesn't look dropped to me... But need more pics of your car bro... Front, back, side(s), engine bay, interior... helps people see what your platform is for feedback....

But needs more of a drop and better rims looks good though =)

That's as far down as I'm going, and yeah I'm thinking about new rims/tires.
I'm lazy about taking and posting pictures, I'll work on it.
