New pic is at the bottom

The back end is too low--your car looks like the springs are shot in the back.

The car looks great, but yes a bit too low in the back, makes the car look like it has a full trunk.

Hmmm, maybe you installed the spacers wrong? Does seem to sag a bit in the back more then others Ive seen. COuld be worn out shocks as well or just the angle you parked on.

just bring that front down a bit and your set bro

may see what it looks like w/ ppl sitting in it.

Should not make any difference in ride height. The rear has an auto leveling feature. I have had 5 people in my car before and its always sat at the exact same height.

looks fine to me...remember, this V is the pre-off road V, like mine.

lowered V1s :thumb:

ok then i would bring it up a little in the back to match the front.

For those lazy like me, roughly how much money are the parts to get a car lowered like this? I like the look, but am trying to keep the mod budget under control.

$375...$300 for H&Rs and $75 for the spacers

Looks good. What kind of tires did you get?

Nitto NT555E, 245/40 & 275/35.

I'm a fan of Nitto tires. I have the Invos and would like to run the NT05s next.

I need more tread life than the nt05's. The gto guys love them though.

Looks good!

Question though, is it me or was half of your car repainted? The back half looks darker than the front half. The first pics show this as well.

No, he just needs to lower the front more.

You cannot lower that front anymore or it will hit the inner fender.
Unless he wants to roller the fenders in the front, I did the backs as have Nitto 275's in the rear.

Just the way the sun is hitting it, both shots have the light coming from the front of the car.

Used a heat gun to soften the paint and metal then rolled away.
Make sure not to overheat or you will cook the paint, no chips,
or anything, works great when you take your time.

I need to do it so I can get my car aligned. Did u rent urs?

285/25/20 nitto invo tucks to the rim on a 10.5... fronts are 245/30/20 and tuck pretty damn good tool.

the fender tool is worth every penny.

New to thw website, but happen to run to your car and it looks great. Did you just install the springs and spacers or dis you put the z06 endlinks as well?

Thanks, I really like it. Just did the springs and spacers.
