This is the best I could do. I really like the stance but I think I am going with a 275/40/17 drag radial in the back. The tires I have now suck that are on back they are 285/40/17.

Your car looks killer. The Stance is bad ***. I'm curious though, because i have been looking at the same set-up for my car, how does it handle? How much of an improvement was there over the stock setup in the cars corning abilities? Straight line abilities? The good stance set aside, was it worth the money based on the handling characteristics?

It handles alot better. I had the stock decrapon shocks. Also if your going to do it Get LCA's and RCB's and ADJ. panhard bar. That is what really helps strait line performance. I just have a little problem with back tire rub but I plan on going with a 275 tire and roll the fender lip.

You get the brackets to level the LCA back out when you lower the car.

I really like it like I said before I had the stock decrapon shocks so anything will be improvement over those POS's. If I would do it again I would maybe go for the KONI's I hear there the best but they cost alot more. Also there when I ordered them I got them from Ws6store and they said HD but when I got them they had SLP performance stickers with them

The biggest issue when you lower the car, or even put a 12 bolt in is the instant center of the rear. You need to adjust the pan hard, tq arm and get relocation brackets to get that LCA down. That is what gets the suspension behind the car and push it. If the LCA is too level its going to load and then unload the rear suspension on the launch

That is why I got the Adj PHB and the Relocation brackets. All the UMI stuff where real nice peices.
