Its alot lower and the ride has changed, but nothing im not used to in a lowered car. Makes it bounce around like a mini truck, so now I have to find stiffer shocks. It seems to handle alot better on corners, not as much sway, but that could be all in my head.

stock

lowered

Are you bottoming out or getting tire rub?

I see you're searching for wheels, how about low profile tires?

bottoming out yea..tire rub no...so far....im searching now for stiffer shocks and wider wheels and thinking of using the original tires to slightly stretch them for lower profile look. I havent looking into lower profile tires for the factory steels because they are not that wide (4"), i think it might be impossible to find. any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
