WTF How is that possible. The only thing I can think of VIP Max is that our back end is waaaaaay lower than theirs. The back end is higher with Sprints so it makes the front tilt down. And I have a 3+" drop. Spring springs have nothing on me.

all us coilover guys are getting angry at you sprint guys because somehow you have the same drop

haha

That is weird though....sprints still have wheel gap and still by the "soda can test" appear to be just as low....

Was that comment about my picture? If so if you look the first picture is in the garage on a flat surface I just added the second picture to give you a reference of how low it was overall.

Those wondering about the Sprint springs, think about wheel size. Those with 19" wheels obviously be at the same height with tucked wheels then those with 18" wheels and wheel gap.

No, I was not refering to you. Your car is low. I like your car and that kit.

But, overall tire size would be the same even with different wheels.

the difference is not that much. what gets me is the fact that i calculated a 3"+ drop for myself. maybe sprints arent 2.2" afterall !
