No way torch red is sexiest, but black might be second...

No way! Vista Blue is the sexiest colour LOL. But Black and red are second to me.

**** that shine is nice! Love the stance! What suspension are you running?

Very nice! Who ever thought a rear wing belonged on these cars? Black is 2nd best color to Vista Blue.

what you guys can't see is that there is a larger gap in the front wheel well then the back. i want to lower the front or raise the back. haven't decided which is easier.

springs are H&R SS springs.

i think adding a 1/8th or even a 1/4" urethane spacer to the rear spring perch would make the stance even better. Only way i could lower the front would be to cut the spring or buy a different front spring set.

Do NOT cut your spring! Just pick up a front set with a minimal drop to get that look you want.

This would also work. However, that may cut a bit more into your budget than you'd like. Your handling would be far better though!

Beautiful. I think a GT/CS rear fascia would compliment your front chin spoiler quite nicely. ASAs? 20x9 all the way around?

Did you measure the front and rear space from the rocker panel? From what I see from your pics, the front and rear are the same height. Remember that the wheel wells are not exactly in the same plane so it gives the illusion that the car is not level. But if you are going to do anything to solve this issue is indeed to go with coilovers. KW Variant 1 are one of the best entry level coilover suspensions on the market but that is just my opinion. I had KW V2 on my old car before and the ride was perfect for daily use. Take a look around. Lots of choices. H&R, Eibach, Ground Control, etc...

just a thought if your Lic plate frme covers your tags is that not a ticketable offence ? it is here but in order to see them they'd have to stop you then pull out fram & show right ? If they see the plate # that should be what counts !!!

BTW Your car looks Great all washed up & clean

you are correct. however, i'd rather have the fender/tire gap the same with a slight rake then level rocker panels and a larger fender gap. not something you can tell in the pic or even in person. i only notice since its my car.

wheels are asa mu1's. 20x9 / 20x10.
