Yeah, it only takes one good rainfall to liven things up. It's been raining almost every day here now so it's starting to look like a jungle

a lowering is must to maintain the aesthetic balance, without it the overall look will be "wheels with a car on top", rather than "nice car"

flossn example illustrates this the best IMO.

Good luck

Even the truck in the far back ground looks like it turned a different color lol. White ----> Red.

I'm one of those guys w/20's and no drop and should I get the l-tuned drop?

It's my daily driver, and I work in a downtown section with pot hole after pot hole and my rims rub all the time because of it. I'm afraid it might rub even more with a 1 inch drop so I decided not to. It looks like a 4x4 and I hate the way it rubs already on these roads

btw, you could probably tell by reading this post, but yes, I am used to driving trucks and SUV's that are high off the ground so this rubbing issue is something I'm not used to.

Flossn example is perfect to demonstrate how badly the GS needs to be lowered when installing larger wheels

What is rubbing? Without a drop, 20s with the right specs should not be rubbing as bad as you say when the car is not dropped. At the "right" speed and pothole, you may rub the top of the wheel well It is the price you pay for 20s.

^yeah, I know what your saying. I might start saving for some coilovers through. And since I am not used to a car that rubs at the top of the wheel well, I do drive a bit faster than lowered cars.

I'm "glad" to hear it is just the top of the well instead of other rubbing.

and i suppose with a set of coilover it might not rub at the top as bad coz' the dampening isn't as exergerate as the stock setup

LOL. Good eye. But then again, the bricks on that house is washed out to white too so it could have just been the photo.
