Wow, I can't wait to do my drop. It looks great even with stock wheels.

The car is real smooth and the handling has improved a lot over stock. A lot of the roll is gone and it doesn't float over bumps anymore. I am driving the car at least 10 miles an hour faster without realizing it because it gives me that much more control over the stock suspension.

It's a great mod!

congrats on the setup! like we all say, what a difference a drop makes!
spacers push the wheels outwards so the wheels arent 'sunk in' the well as much.

I've seen pics of cars with wheel spacers and they do look better.

I have a question..what do the spacers do? Does that make the rims go outward and does it help handling?
Yep you got it
