    Opinion On Drop...

    Ok, one of my buds of AT chopped one of my old pics, says he cam close to a 2.25 drop in front and 2.00 in rear, compare these two pics and give me input. I know it looks much better, but Im curious if I should go lower, or even this low, thanks in advcance...

    lower would look a little better but i think that's a good drop for a daily driver.

    i mean, seeing as how you're in BUSH country you probably have the occasional gravel/dirt road to contend with

    it's just because of the way the rear fenders are on most cars. it usually has less of a gap than the front.

    and? im talking about how it looks...and it looks like the front is higher than the rear in terms of wheelgap//

    sorry if im not being clear, i just see it all the time, and personally i like an even or raked setup.

    you need less of a wheel gap. if you had bigger tires, you could keep it that low, but with those small ass tires, you're gonna have to go lower then that to keep it from looking funny.

    For a daily driver it looks good
    You could always get sleeve coilovers and get like a 3" drop.
    My friend did it on his civic hatchie. One finger gap. This guy said "please that's for pussy's"(pardon the language). you can't get a finger in. the bumpers are almost touching the ground. It's a daily driver. So extremely low!

    Its not lowered at all right now, that is just a chopped picture, when I do lower it the FRONT will be lower than the back to compensate for difference in wheelwells, giving it a raked appearance, but all the wheel gaps will be the same...just looking for input.
