The GS looks great as do the wheels, very nice. I think you'd be surprised how much drop you could get away with and still have a nice ride and good looks. I'm just up the road from you, Alaska and our rods aren't a whole lot better. I'm rolling on 19's with Bilstein PSS's lowered to the top of tire and have no problems. Winter tires are the stock 16's with studded tires. I use the GS year round with no problem. I do have about a 1/2 mile of dirt road that I need to take it easy on before I hit the pavement.

Welcome to CL. Spectra Blue is my all time favorite color!!! Car looks really good as is, though it would look better lowered of course, but you gotta be practical too. You're off to a very good start!!!

well, having 4 seasons is very taxing on the roads. we all know how pot holes form... water in cracks, water turns into ice, which expands the cracks, etc etc.
i've had a lowered car b4, and it does look great, but the ride, i wasn't too pleased with. i'm still very happy with my ride and the rims. can it look better... yes... imo, does it look good right now? hell yeah!
Thanks for your input so far, guys.

Our roads are pretty good, it's the driveways you have to watch for...
Hey, like Ice T says "Pimpin' ain't easy!"
(2" drop, Explosion bumper, and my office driveway)
Seriously, though... love the Spectra Blue!
