Your car needs to be lowered sooooo bad. Find some dead bodies and stuff them in the trunk. That should do it for the rear.

Our cars are plenty low already. Why does everyone want them to be lowered so badly? I almost wish my car was a little higher. I'm tired of scraping the front spoiler all the fucking time.

Btw, looks good Jake. I think they look better on your car than they did on Matt's Cutty, actually.

Can't say I've ever scraped the front air dam wherever I've been. If you're scraping the front air dam, you're driving up ramps too quickly, or some construction worker didn't follow the laws when creating the ramp. GP's look lower because of the wheel arches, which covers more of the gap between the wheel and the fender. That's not the case for Regals, Cutlass Supremes, and Luminas.

Here are the pictures I'm referring to:

Extremely hilly area, it isn't from going too fast either. No matter how slow I go there are certain places where it always scrapes. Not to mention those stupid parking blocks.

fer 17s they look nice! and for some reason look a considerable amount larger than the originals. maybe its all the open space inside them. (the space isnt a bad thing because youve got your brakes done up a little. some drilled and slotted rotors in there would be bad ass now! haha

R1 Concepts FTW!!!

IMO anything larger than a 17 on a w-body is pushing it. You're getting into heavier rims there with more rotational mass and ride comfort is compromised. Those wheels look like they were meant to be there.

As for lowered and Pittsburgh, I hear you there perfectly. Fortunately, Chicago suburb roads are great.

i wouldn't want to go any lower.... the MC as-is leaves you in a fall in, crawl out situation, and that's from tire size changes alone....




the GP on the other hand, looks like it's a truck with some 205/75-15 tires...
