i can go about another 3/4" lower in the rear, but, my fronts are maxed out i think it'd look odd if i also maxed out the rears

man..if i could tuck the fronts like the rear and still be able to make u-turns and all that..trust me..i would..haha..but the way it sits is like those that are on air..i dont think anyone can tuck their fronts driving around(other than a straight line)..i was actually thinkin bout raising the rear like 2 spins..like 1/8" haha..maybe even a 1/4" iono..might not even make that big of a difference

^ thats it hey you cant have it all ways, i have been struggling with mine too cause it always looks too low up back or at least not low enough up front! the guards are different sizes though so you can tuck the rear but not quite the front. The only way you could is if you pulled the front arches alot which i think the japanese guys do to allow the clearance, or go higher on the offsets

nah sorry i mean like the front fenders (sorry aussies dont really say the word fender haha).

i mean that you can be tucking up back but not quite up front because this is the illusion given by the fact that the front wheel arches themselves are higher than the rears. but if you want to get the front to tuck like the back, you need to either raise your offsets to give the wheel room to move, or pull the actual fender out to give the wheel turning room. and so you lose flushness

yea..i gotta pull mine a little bit..i can hardly make u-turns..gotta drive super slow for them..i think a very slight pull would help..but ANT, ur right..the rear quarters sit lower than the front fenders..my height is even all around even tho it doesnt look like it..

Feel you on this... my car is currently setup just like yours, just on 20's so I have a lil more clearance, but I'm tucked in front and back identical to yours... ain't easy riding low, but well worth it.

I will post pictures soon...
