Yeah if you really want a real 'stance' then airbags it is. Took this picture just after my install, sorry about the dirty wheels, I know, I know, just haven't had time for another photoshoot afterwards:



Using the Airrex system which you can find more info about here, but so far they are absolutely incredible, the ride is fantastic, and best of all, no more worrying about speed bumps and obstacles in the road from driving at too low of a height. Got a remote control that's wireless so I can raise and lower outside the car too. Comes with a box that has the compressor inside already hooked up so the install for this is significantly less time than it would be if you just had all the parts non-assembled which is the longest portion of that install. Now with the box, it's pretty much a one day job instead of a 2-3 day job:

Same. I think a slight drop and a huge tire is going to be the best everyday driver/looks compromise...





18x10 with a 45mm offset and 275/40 Nitto NT555

That without drop. Looking to lower it this fall at some point.

 

I always thing Steeda Sports look "right". And they ride awesome too. And I typically have them in stock....

 

"Best stance" .... for ours is stock front and about 1.5" lower in rear, that centered the tires in the wheel openings and leaves decent clearance for the road. I think they look good lower but I also like to drive it and enjoy it without worrying about every dip going into the 7-11.

 

That is what Air Lift or AirREX suspensions are all about you have the control to raise or lower the car as required/dictated by the road conditions. My Air Lift suspension provide 8 presets that control the ride height. For example you can set the ride heights as follows:

1) All the way down (cars and coffee / car show stance)
2) Ride height (normal height, this is the alignment height)
3) Ride height with a passenger
4) Steep driveway (raise the fronts)
5) Full car (4 passengers)
6) Full car with full trunk
7) All the way up front and rear to clear car lifts and jacks
8) Low and slow
