i like it! now complete the kit, throw on some tints, and i'm sure it'll look even lower. :up:

I like how my pioneer idea of the lip has come this far.

Everything is looking sweet man. Keep the clean no tint look, i think it doing it RIGHT!

BTW, how'd you enjoy scraping the frame haha. :D

and i could lower it even with the lip on it (which will happen next summer, with same wheels polished) but with the winter being so close, i just wanted a mild setup.

Yea, I think I am going to do 215/40 in the front for next time around so I can dump the front lower. I may do 215 for the rear next time to just to dump it. But my objective is to get my 9.5" wheels to fit in the rear.

Do it Kenny, that'd be ill.

I'm keeping my wheels, and just slapping bigger spacers & 215/35s on when money's more abundant. Gotta get Megan to give me the shorter springs up front too (this will be THE coilover setup to go with if you don't already have a set!) Also got a front lip coming in soon, not Kevin/Toy1mzfe's CL lip (though I give him major props for pioneering that one), but one that will bolt up with pretty much no modification.

megan coilovers would be the ones to go with for a good drop. thats what most of the VIP guys use. and my lip bolted right on. it took two people to hold it in place and 4 screws to keep it safe, but i didn't have to modify at all. and so far i've been scooping gravel from the driveway every time i pull in and out, so i'd say its pretty secure! (knocking on the wood) lol
