the ride height in that last pic is great, i would not go any lower unless you start looking at ways to correct the geometry with custom fabricated arms etc.

Any pics with the kit?

i guess that's true.. but i my car is probably about 3 or 4 inches lower than his, and i've never had any of those "wild bump-steer" issues before. my mom's stock scion xb has worse bump-steer than my car..

i think it's a matter of preference,(as with anything else) because i ****** love how my car rides.. 12kg & 10kg spring rates, scraping all day, 3 wheeling up driveways etc..

I've also took some "oh ****, yellow light, downshift, WOT" turns and felt completely stable all the way through. i'm not saying its ideal for road racing or anything. but for a daily it's better than 4x4'ing around town

I wouldnt go much lower at all. We will see how it fairs when the coils settle.

I didnt take too many pics. These are what I have for now. I'll put the kit back on and snap some more once I get my wheels on.

After fighting with myself, i went ahead and mounted the 235/40's just to be able to eye ball it. They look pretty good but I could probably use less profile for more lowness in the rear and for brtter front clearance.

You could still go a little lower before running into wheel well issues.. looks better than I thought it would with the 40 series tires though

Thank you. Yeah I could go lower. But I'll most likely take the advice and go 35 series.

I also do not run allot of camber (-1.5 last alignment). Rear tires are worn all the lettering off and I have still not done an alignment on it this year :\

Not stock body, pulled to fit by a friend of mine
