Things I will NOT do...

1. run spacers
2. lower the suspension

the only springs I would ever consider are Racing Beat

Looks good. I was looking for BBS RGR's for sometimes. I found my volks instead.

You gotta get those racing beat springs now

1. Changes the "Scrub" pattern
2. I have never done the following-scraped my front lip, dragged my CAT, bottomed out my exhaust, bent/destroyed a crossmember, all while staying with the stock ride height.

The RB springs are less than a 1" drop but with performance spring rates...

I understand the camp that wants to slam the car and run aggressive wheel fitment.

I believe in function>form but still looking good....

even with a .5 " slimmer wheel than stock I could still run 245-40-18 tire

Nice rims but you need a drop hella bad IMO.
As long as u like it though that's all that matters.

I will get some good sides shots of her on flat ground with a car load of guys sitting in her and all the drop comments will go away


If I had your driveway I would not be lowered either. But you could always go with progress springs, Hoss-05's car doesn't feel dropped at all to me.

I am really considering th RB springs because of the <1" drop but better spring rates... But I need to get my Sound System stuff first and for Xmas the BHR ignition...

What is the drop on the front of the progress springs? Heck, even the H techs are less than an inch I think. Grungepups car is just a freak of nature.
