your wheels 17's or 18's??
well it will take some spring cutting!!.. but it can be done.. you may run into some rubbing issues being that low.. but then again you may not.. just have to be extra careful when driving.. pot holes, man holes, going up and down driveways. but it can be done and still be somewhat driveable.

18's huh... what offset on the wheels, what width of rims front and rear, what width of tire front and rear?

that is low.. but it looks pretty sweet.

my car is low.. but not that low.. I have thought about going lower.. but I already rub a lot!! so I dont think going any lower would be a good idea.

yo c280jr...if your interested...i can get a real philips hid kit that looks like that color lights....kinda not really..but looks really good....its about 4-5 hundo so let me know if y our interested..maybe we can do a group buy here? Everyone seems to be goign for the oem kit on this club..so don't konw if alot of people are interested. I just simply dont want to spend over 1000 dollars on lights.....

personaly I like the wheels (I almost bought them) but donT' like the drop.

I don'T like when the tire is in the wheel well, but that's my taste.

but i know how crazy it gets when its low, right now im annoyed by bumps, even tho my car does not rub at all, but for that kind of drop id be willing to sacrifise comfort
