did you mount your front lip on the bumper to make it sit lower? we have the same car, same front lip, (my post is 2 above yours), it looks as if my actual car is lower than yours, but your lip is low.yeah, i know. lips beat, oh well. pavement > urethane
lip sits about 1/8-1/4 inch lower than where it should due to being pulled under, it doesnt sit on quite right. Im lowered almost 5 inches and running 15x8's on a 195/45 tire. its just that low. coils are maxed out completely, car has smashed through the strut towers. it sits on the tie rods. in person, its basically tucking a 15
it looks like you dont have your lip mounted even either. i can see its lower in the front but pulled all the way up on the back by the wheel. try fixing that, it should help

yeah i already fixed my lip, looks alot better, my coilovers still have some room to go, but any lower and it just looks dumb on these stock wheels. oh well, ill probably have some new wheels soon enough, ill worry about it then
Stay where ya are before you hurt something!ill ditch the lip
to late. controls punched through the strut towers and tie rods sit on the frame
That doesn't sound very safe bro. Be careful.

you should look into the buddy club balljoints, roll center adjusters? is that what they are called, idk either way might make your suspension geometry a little better, also pics of your strut tower damage? i want to see what mine are about to look like, mine have been hitting on bad bumps for about 4 months now, seems like they are gonna punch through any day
edit, blox, not buddy club, haha.

yeah i know about them. im not worried, honestly guys if you want to be low. you cant care about geometry, cars arent designed for this type of stuff. tie rods, ball joint, all that good stuff are going to wear A LOT quicker. i know people who go through multiple ball joints a year. now i go to school for cars, and i just completely my suspension class. one thing i learned was my car is not going to last long. but thats a commitment you gotta make

Yeah I've been through multiple ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings. Loving every minute of it.
