How LOW can i go???
well i have been experimentng with my suspension, since i have a 20x9 wheel on the front and i am running a 255 tire it was said i coukdnt go very low

that front tire is pretty fat. i think u can go a lil lower in the rear and a lot lower in the front would be nice, but will probably need to switch out to a 245/35/20 out front or if you really want to play go for a 245/30/20 front tires. if you have bad roads around you than stick with a 245/35/20 i just switched to a 245/30/20 front tire cuz i love the rubberband look makes the lips look bigger and you can lower your car more..plus i have easy rodes to drive on...

I say do 3 things
1. Smaller tire up front
2. Lower it until its impratical, then adjust up (much easier)
3. If the front wheels dont sink in some more, get spacers for the rear wheels. A staggered wheel combo where the front wheel sticks out more than the rear, makes me cry! LOL
Good luck man, cars looking good.

I don't like how cars have staggered wheels but the front sticks out more than the rear like in your case. Especially since your tires look fat in front and look stretched in the back, giving it even more impression that the front is more bulkier than the rear.
My suggestion is to change to a smaller tire up front, add spacer in the back and lower it a couple more inches. But that's just me...

I met you in miami at HIN and you told me about the veilside kit that was for sale, I think you could go lower and for shows it is an indefinet yes, but I would say that your car looks great from up close and that it is much lower in real life than in the pics,
Guys I just saw the car a month and a half ago, I was tuckin' those wheels very very well.
Good job and thanks for the recomendation on the veilside kit.
