Are there any advantages either way? Other than just the looks of it







Yes there are. If the back is lower you get better weight transfer taking off (less tire spin) plus it will corner better. The only advantage to having the rear high is tire clearence but you don't need more.

Shoulda gone with rims first. Lowering without rims makes it look like a honda.

I really need some good pictures to show but mine is low and flat. I really like how it looks.

Everyone here has an opinion of what they think looks good but it's your car so you decide which you like best.

Come on, you know import owners like to lower thier car before they have rims, some dont ever get tims, they just stay with the stock as long as it's polished or something. I dont wanna start no flame war so I'll just leave this thread be.
