what size front tires are you running? They look trapped under there, you can not really turn them at that ride height, can you? I've got clearance issues with mine and they are nowhere near that slammed.
living on a dirt road, i can't imagine running at that height. it wouldn't clear the washboard!!
how much more are you going to have to raise it to be on the street.
overheating fixed?

If you are going to run them at that height you may want to roll your front fenders (or you may want to do it anyway!)

ya its going to need to go up a bit. im prob going to hammer out my fender wells a bit but the wheels are 17x10s all around. and the tires are 235/40's in the front and 255/40's in the rear. this was just right after i put the coilovers on. there is a bit of rubbing right now but like i said its going up a bit so we will see.

for the cooling problem i have to replace my water temp sensor and it should be good. if not im just going to take the car into a shop and have them look at it

IMO it needs to go up some... but i think like 1" higher. other than that those weels look way better with the car lowered now.

First off, it looks great.

The problem is there's no way you can drive it like that with 10k springs.

After the tires wear through the fender liners, they will eat up the wiring harnesses.

You need at least another inch of clearance, and even then a good bump will cause tires to hit fender liners.
