[QUOTE=layzie12g;6349502]They definetly look like poo not lowered. What rim width are you guys running on a 20" wheel? I'd like to go as wide in the back as possible. It would be nice to fit a 275 if possible.

it depends on the offset but i'm running 285/30/20 on my rear wheels

I think we all understand its ugly. I got that after the second picture. I think those pictures that Carbong posted actually may prove other wise. The last picture of the car with the body kit on it did not look good in my opinion. I think a 1.5 inch drop is where its at. Maybe the stock height one with the body kit doesn't look as bad because its lower to the ground. 2gsfowner's car looks real good, but I'm sure its on coil overs.

Here are some pictures of my other car so you guys get I'm not a newb at the whole car situation. I did ask a newb question so I guess I get what I asked for.

NO SLAM OR CRAZY CAMBER! I THINK ITS HIDIOUS!

I did do my first mod today though besides the stereo. I did the DIY chrome grill. It looks good. I'm pretty excited. I also found some 20" Tsw wheels on craigslist with tires for real cheap. I'll post pictures of them if I get them. You guys gotta remember I'm working on this car with money thats left over from my other car so I'm not going to go spend 2k on wheels and another $600+ on suspension.

What do stockers with tires sell for? $400 bucks with good rubber?

I know all about the tank part. My Talon was riding high for years. I couldn't bring my self to buy suspension when I could be buying speed parts. So I had a 700 horsepower car with about a 7 inch fender gap to go with it.

Do any of you guys have a passenger side fog light? I really need one and can't post in the classifieds yet. Also how do you make a signature?
