You need a skid plate for the bottom of your car.After Xmas I've got a guy doin one up for me.(you shold see my downpipe now)Maybe I can get him to make another,you want one???

By the way,the car looks good.

sorry to interupt, but as long as you are cool with the wheel gap dont worry about how low it is. When you put some larger rims on it, if you decide to, it will raise the car some. Hell my car rose about an inch, maybe a little more, when I put the GSX rims on. It was just enough to keep me from scraping my bumper everywhere that I went.

Well there is such a thing as too low. Toney you should know that. I mean you now know how much better your car handles now because the suspension is actually able to function properly. I cant say this enough. The front suspensions of 2g FWD's and AWD's have very little travel even at stock ride height. So lowering the least amount is optimal. The best way to improve handling on our cars is to find a spring that lowers about an inch, but the spring rates are increased nicely.

I like how the car looks, but it is too low in my opinion.

thanks tho

well my car was pretty low before, but that never adversely effected the handling of my car. I only hit the bumpstops once, and that was while going in a straight line and hit a big ass bump. I think most of the handling improvement that Ive experienced is due to the illuminas more than the springs.

pro kits after sportlines was night and day. Sportlines- harsher ride, and had to slow for everything; pro kits- nice ride, not too low, not high, and handles great. Sportlines settled like mad, and pro kits really haven;t settled much if any. I think pro kits are the best springs for our cars. I have illuminas with mine now and the ride/handling is perfect for me. Your car looks nice, but if driveability gets tough, then it may be time to switch something out. If u can deal with it, that's fine too. I finally got to the point where I couldn't deal with driving my car that low anymore. I wouldn't go that low again if I had to. I have seen the light. Really low cars aren't for everyone, but you may like driving it like that. Nothing wrong with it.
