Default Who Has The Lowest Is?

I am getting ready to order some tiens and plan on slamming the car. The back tires are already tucked with tanabe springs but the fronts aren't, hence the coil overs. Does anybody have the front tucked or almost tucked? Could you post pics?

Thanks

Everyone has different taste. As for me, I think the car looks good lowered but not slammed to the ground. If you want it slammed, you might as well be in Lowrider Magazine. Just not in the car's character. Again, just an opinion.

That looks great. How is the ride with it being on the last coil? What setting do you have the shocks on? Great looking ride!

Do aftermarket airbags give an uncomfortable ride?
