But I got it to sit a little lower on the air.

Stock 16's with 215/60/16 @ 22.5" ground to fender measurement. Rocker/skirt is a little less than 2" from the ground. A little bit more and it'll be sitting where I want finally - UCA is hitting on the notches I cut out :lol: . Still waiting on the rear shock mounts so I can tweak the rears. :roll:

Nope, just the stockers.

Still not low enough.

Rears are REALLY low, but at the sacrifice of any decent lift as I haven't finished the final rear brackets yet. The rear brackets on the car are temporary.

I'm on Stance coilovers and UAS Aerosport bags.

lol looks good so far tho. Good job on customizing your own brackets.

Cant wait to see the finished product.

Haha, nah. I'm trying to get the car as low as possible with stock sized tires first.

I need to notch my notches already and I've bent the pinch welds and removed my fender liners. The front lower control arm has a little over 1/2" of space to go before it hits the frame, so it's almost there.

Thanks. I have a friend who welds, so it's just a matter of getting the supplies in first.

I ain't afraid to cut **** up on this car.

If I remember correctly, its the bag that stops the car from going lower. The spacer in the bag itself is too long I'd like to know what you do to go lower up front. I go lower up front on my stocks with bigger tires (going by fender to tire gap not my body kit), my question is what may have you forgot to do up front to tweak it to go lower

Needless to say, looks sweet and I second the comment in regards to clean stockers!
