I have 2 subs in the back and my oem struts and springs are in the trunk with my golf bag. I am away at school and have no were else to put them. The setup I got was Illuminas and H&R drop. I think it looks high in the front cause of the stuff in the trunk.

Thanks Tiler, ya I want to take the stuff out of my trunk and get a nice camera instead of just a cell phone picture that looks really bad. I kind of wanna do progress springs in the front to even it out more.

Ya I know, idk if I am a huge fan of them. I might toss the 5.5 gen skirts on there and do the 5.5 gen front end swap.

S-Techs don't naturally sag in the rear like H&Rs do.

Your tires different sizes between the front and the back? The fronts look like a higher profile.

Nice car. Love the Stillen lip & 5.5 eyes.

Damn bro. so if u take that out it'll look like stock height? normally when someone says they have a "drop" they **** is sittin low. yah dig? im not hating on your car at all. i would love to see it sit like the back is ALL AROUND. that would be beast. Maybe purchase some coilovers sir?

haha no way im not getting coilovers, those rear wheels are really in the wheel well already. I might do a progress drop in the front to make the drop a little more even.

Here is a pic of before I dropped the car.

im lost. u said that u had a rack of s h i t in your trunk, so therefore thats not the true height in the rear. and whats wrong with coilovers? you can ADJUST the height.....

there is nothing wrong with coilover's if I were to drop the car I would get them. But I dropped 700 and got the illuminas and H&R springs because of the comfort.

next time you get tires, i would even up the profile..either 40s all around or 45s all around....that is def part of the reason the *** sag looks so dramatic

but she still lookin good bud!

Yea I got the wheels with those tires on them. The fronts rub a little bit in the front when I am turning.
