Damn, and I thought I was nuts. The offsets on those wheels look very aggressive too! Look at the size of those lips!

I think you can go as low as 19", maybe even scrape by with 18" (no pun intended) to have the car sits perfect on the ground with about a finger gap still between your exhaust and the ground.

If I can do it all over again, I would do 18". On max drop, I believe the top of the wheel would still sit right at the fender line, giving the illusion that the car is not dumped, even though it's sitting on the ground....

Kinda like this:



This is gangsta....

Looks awesome but the rear looks sunk now. hehe

I really agree with jtanoya in that you should slam it till it just touches the rim so that it gives the illusion of the car not being dumped.

IMO when it's slammed all the way, it looks really DUB style.

Then again, your taking advantage of the Air and I would be too.

First, Great looking ride Antbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally love the GS dumped like that!!!

Next, sc400texas, after reading other threads of yours, you seem to be an authority on VIP and other JDM styles. When I look at antbo's car I see more of an Executive style, where I would think full on VIP would include a very aggressive kit, large tail, extended tips, and so forth. Is there a true difference between the styles or is Executive more a term unique to the states that we may be using incorrectly? Thanks!





And last, I just have to ask, FunGuy, is that your ride in your sig????????????????

Please tell me it's a joke.

I wondered the same thing but didn't have the heart to ask.
