Default are there any F bodys that sit good?

i guess im looking for more something on the stanced side of the spectrum.
for example


this sits good



this is how most f bodys sit.



cut a coil off the front and no isolator on the back

mine sucks too.

im not trying to hate on f bodys, i own 3 4th gens and love them, id just love to see one with some aggressive fitment

Well, since you're not talking 'performance', ignore the racing wing setup... But this is what a 2" drop looks like, and its with only 9.5" wide wheels, with larger diameter/width it would have a 'tuck' like that sleven (which btw, needs wider tires, those look like theyre gonna pop off)



Otras. Before I got new shocks, but idk if thatd effect the stance much (the ^new tires in back^ do though).

Considering the amount of suspension travel and ground clearance we have at even stock height, you won't find many people choosing these cars to stance. Besides, most people on this forum are looking for performance. Here is a Stang done well though:

Here is how mine sits, its pretty low I would say.



only problem is, once I go a full exhaust there will be some clearance issues I am pretty sure... Here is the ground clearance I have the factory Y...

"Hella Flush" is a term for cars with "aggressive wheel fitment". Basically the wheels are tucked up very close to the body, leaving little or no fender gap. Slightly smaller tires are sometimes stretched to fit wider wheels.

That RX-7 the OP posted is a good example, here's others:




I've only really seen it on imports, and as with most import trends, it's about "form over function."

Looks about like an *** with warts that just got through two quarters of high-school football.

Not to mention evertime you launched you would slice your tires if you could even get traction.

I think it's safe to say that most people who do this won't be launching their cars anytime soon.
