Default Ok time for pics of your lowered cars, (Please)

Prolly been talked about way too many times but I'd like to see some pics of your cars and hear about the set up's your using. Also like to know your opinion on your set up's. I'm leaning towards strano but just trying to talk my wife into spending that kind of bank won't get me sex for months lol. I have SLP eibachs with bilstein shocks on it right now and it's not a bad ride but the back has alot less gap from the tire to the fender so just would like to hear and see some of your cars. Thanks for any help.

I honestly don't see a rear sag when you and the camara are level. But I do know that as soon as anything over 50 lbs. is in the trunk or back seat you will see a difference.

Don't know if you are talking to me but my rear tires are widerand a bit taller they may look tucked in the pic but the rear was higher . The wheel wells measured from the ground were .5" higher in the rear.With the stock rims on.
