Finally lowered my car!

Does it look right though? I thought it would be lower..

Don't pay attention to the back, because the Sidewall on the tire is 45 in the back instead of 40 like the front....

Thanks guys, lolz, Im lowered on Eibachs with Illuminas 5F/5R, its not a very rough ride unless its on a crappy road.. I rub a little bit in the back because of the 45sidewall tires when i have one >180lb person in the back sitting in the middle lolz.. Luckily i bought new suspension instead of a 46in 1080p plasma cuz when i took out the stock rear shocks, they were both blown completely.. I just need to get an alignment because sometimes i drift to the right and sometimes i don't.. it could be something loose though.. But ill have to check it out when i have some free time :P

that pulling or drifting to the right could just be the road. But an alignment is a must do after you touch your suspension. To me the drop looks about the same as with the white car you compared to.

The stock 225-50-17 on Housecor's site makes the Eibach look much lower than your 235-40-18 (and 45 in the rear) because it's about .5 inches more in total diameter. The drop looks great tho. What are your wheel/tire specs?
