Default How the car currently sits

So I decided to post a few pictures of how the car currently sits as I went to get some groceries.

You can see the front is pretty sunk, but I have 1.5" spacers on the way and the car is pretty dirty.

Also photos are with a iPhone for quality reference.

Yeah, I have already been looking into 18" sets of wheels.

But a lot of people keep telling me no, this gives it that drag wheel look with a crazy low stance. I don't know I'm up in the air.

I'm on the fence with the wheels, but it is your car. But the air ride is badass, I need to just bite the bullet and order a kit for my car.

What did you end up going with and what was the cost?? That is if you don't mind sharing

That stance is sick!!! Very nice car bud. The only thing I would change is painting the SLP grille red to match..

I went with the ridetech shockwaves/cool ride and got an air management kit from bagriders.com as ridetech's management kit is robbery.

It rides 100x better

No I can't drive it that low, The tire is actually pushing on the fender.

If I had smaller wheels or more stretched tires it would sit lower.

And the parts list is just:

RideTech Shockwave front kit
RideTech Coolride rear kit
Bag Riders AutoPilot V2 kit

I'm actually looking into trading/selling these wheels too if anyone is interested. I want a set of 18s, possibly 19s.
