      Not bad. I’m trying to tell if it leans to the back or if it’s just the hella narrow track width back there messing with me.

        I wouldn't go any lower than mine. When tires go into the wheel wells it starts to look stupid. imo

          anything below stock height is too low. I had mine down about an inch and a half and after ripping the sidewall out of a tire turning into a driveway I gave up on that bullshit. Had to replace the tire and the fender trim.

            it's surprisingly level, there are a few things going on there, 15" in the back 14" up front, angle to the driveway, friend's Ford Flex roof line in the background causing some parallax , and it is light up front since there are no fluids, accessories, intake, etc. Just heads and the block since it's getting pulled.

                Anything below stock CVPI height is too low for me. Yeah... my LX is raised an inch or so.

                    If he's got the time and money, the ground is the limit.

                    Stock or higher for me, but my goal is different compared to most.

                      A worthy cause.

                      Probably the rear bumper will be your biggest drag. Bolt on some sacrificial steel pads that hide under the bumper to protect it and provide sparks in case of a grounding experience!

                        Stock, especially the older I get. I love me something unmolested/preserved.

                          Worth it. Also... your car... too low is when you don't like it. My actual opinion is that too low is when speed bumps scrape the bottom.

                            Looks cool but practicality-wise is another story. With my bigass tires i already rub when close to lock going into a driveway. Not sure if its my wheel/tire setup but this car seems to sit kinda low-ish anyhow and i wouldn't consider going much lower, although i would like a better spring. I'll get a pic up in the next day or two but this car sits different than my first '90. Springs aren't worn near as i can figure but who knows.

                              Looks like crap. Sell it to me for $200.
