Default My white 2011 GT with 20" Forgestars! I'm thrilled

Sorry about the pics guys. They are in low light under my parking garage. The only other thing I'll be adding is the Boss 302 splitter under the front valence and smoking tail lights/side markers and that will complete my ride for a while. I may drop it a bit more in the future. Thanks for looking! I'll try to get some better pictures on here when everything is complete with better light.

Note: Tires are Toyo Proxes 4 with 295/30 on rear and 255/35 on front. Enjoy!

How did you lower it, what springs etc? How does the ride compare to stock?

also what percentage tint is that?

looks good

black wheels are hard to photograph. they hide in a lot of scenarios.

those are nice wheels. I hope to do the same sizing, just different wheels.

tell me, how is the ride quality on those tires? small sidewall. I was wanting to go the 20 route too but am concerned about the ride quality.

Thanks for all the feedback. The ride quality (quite surprsinglty) is 50% better on these tires and rims then I had on the stock OEMs and a 19 inch rim. Not making this up. I was shocked. Going over speed bumps is the biggest difference I can feel. Truly amazing. Tint is 20%, I may add some black hood spears but not really a fan of stripes so I think it will remain a cleaner look. I previously installed an eibach pro kit (not the sportline kit). I should have done sportline to get that more aggressive look. I wish it was a bit lower .5-1 inch would be perfect but I'm not complaining. At least this is the safer approach to prevent any rubbing. I may add the back sway bar from Eibach to firm things up a bit.

I'm digging the black spoiler too, nice looking set up.
