#28019, "My 4x4......."


          




So tell the truth guys, does it look bad at stock height?? I think it looks good myself. The ride is SO much better and I can actually pull up into driveways!! If you look closely you can see a slight difference in the paint between the door and the quarter panel, but its not too bad.

Mikey (sonicyan) has those exact same rims in 18's too, and at stock height, I think it was really weird looking. It did look WAY taller than stcok. It looks weird in person imo, but in the pictures you have, it seems ok. Looks way better dropped though. BTW, Mikey is dropped now too. But do what you have to do. Looks aren't the most important thing.

Maybe you should consider the H&R OE Springs.....at least take a little bit of that fender gap out of there.

Oh, I liked it better dropped.

Alright, here's my 2 cents...the car doesn't look bad at all, still looks way clean, nice tint, nice wheels, nice paint...but then as soon as you scroll down and see your dropped picture, you definitely notice the high-waters...it does look way better dropped, but as ^^^^ said, you do what you have to.

Well thanks for the honest opinions fellas. If it were just about how the car looks then the car would have stayed dropped. However it was a number or reasons as to why I took the springs off, first and foremost it was to make the car ride better. It does, 110% better.

I've given it some thought about returning mine to stock also. The roads are really bad where I live and it really gets on my nerves sometimes....hell some places I don't even go to anymore because I can't turn into the parking lot....hehe. However, as soon as see a stock Eclipse, I can't bring myself to do it. Your car does look good at that hight Jason...I think it's because of the rims you have.

Dammit man, your car is going to be all de-pimped when I get down there in a couple weeks!! I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer to see a clean pimped out car. So much crap around here...

Still a very nice looking car IMO Jason.

But....

When it was lowered it was probably my favorite car on this board. Now I am a bit partial to Ryans Silver Eclipse since his makeover.
