the "before" looked like a donk, "after" looks better ,but still need to come down about an inch on front and about two in the rear

I think the 'after' look is perfect,....the 'before' just rode too high for me. Like a 4x4. :)

after does look better, but if it's the stock front suspension I'd bet you very close to being on the bump stops right now.

After looks a little too low to my eye, and also looks like it seriously compromises the ride, handling and your ability to drive the car unless you've done a lot of work beyond just lowering it. I'm not a "looks before function" guy, and would rather drive a car that sits "high" but handles and rides well and can be driven without fear of speed bumps.

...JMHO but those wheels are not doing that car any justice.

yeah, no one seems to be a fan of the wheels in pictures. People like them in person...but, I will be changing them when money allows to spend 4k on wheels. more pressing needs with the car right now;)

Too shiny and not enough dish from what I can see....just too flashy for a showy color like Plum Crazy.

A grey-faced or cast-colored wheel would look so much more at home there,IMHO.:yes:

to oversimplify; lowering the vehicle lowers the center of gravity which in turn helps the car corner better.

After all the way. :thumbsup:

...and I'm not a fan of those wheels either.
