You see how I have some front bumper gap on the passenger side? That's why it's not lower.

I would love to go another 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to get in and out of my driveway.

I have new tires, so It looks different now.

The bolt hole on the bumper got pulled really hard when I first lowered my car and it ripped so now it won't hold. My car was like 2 inches lower with stock wheels.

I got some Federal 595's 235/40 all the way around. I haven't really gotten the chance to push them, but so far, I like them a lot.

The road noise is a lot better than it was with the old tires. I just washed it and I would take some pics but it got dirty quick, and it's supposed to rain again, but I will get some more pics up soon.

Have you decided on a wheel color yet? I like black, but I know you probably want something unique. Definately not white though.

So I just lowered the front about another inch. I would have done the back, but food's on the table. I will do it tomorrow and adjust the front accordingly, if I need to.

I say **** that bumper. I have one in my garage that needs paint, then it can go on if this one gets eaten up anymore.

I drove it around a while. The suspension settled some and DAMN! Went to my old high school to see a teacher.

Looking at it from about 100 feet away in an empty parking lot, it looks so sexy. Way better than the pics i posted up.
