The car looks sinister. I think Mr. Darth would take it for a spin.

I understand you don't want to lower the car any further, but I just don't think it looks good. There is significantly less wheel gap in the rear than the front.

+1. The view from the back looks awesome. Unfortunately from the side it doesn't look as good since the rear tire looks almost tucked into the wheelwell while the front tire has the 4x4 look to it.

+2. Depending on how you look at it.. the rear is an inch too low, or the front is an inch too high.

+2 I agree also. You need to lower the front also. The car may be level but the front wheel gap is accessive now.

Would have to say +3. IMO your rear is to low. I thought my drop with Eibach Sportlines was low and I believe its like 1.7 or so drop in the rear. The main problem is that once they settle your gonna be even lower in the rear and the front gap is going to be even worse.

again MO, but I would lower the front atleast 1.4+. Still have a killer stance. I'm sure many people can toss pics up of their stance. I'd be glad to if u want more reference.

Off topic, but what mufflers are you running.

BTW, your car still looks kick A$$.

i think it looks alright, kinda wierd with the gap in the front wheel well but if you lower it any more that chin spoiler might scrape. i once saw a civic fly across a raised intersection, scoop up a dead armadillo and fling it up towards the windshield. most hilarious thing ive ever seen.
