Your stance is freakin gorgeous!!!! It doesnt even look like the wheels are staggered.

Just thought I'd share ride height pictures. These were taken today, 9 months after installing the SLP 70002 kit, which is the SLP/Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks.

Pictures were taken with maybe ½ or 1 gallon shy of a full tank of gas in a parking garage (so it was a flat surface). The car has a Moser 9" rear and sits on 17x9 Firehawk rims wrapped in Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 tires.

Factory y-pipe has about 4.125 - 4.250" of clearance at the lowest point.
Rear fender is about 27.250"
Front fender is about 27.000"

Heres my 99 T/A. Sport lines on i think stock shocks. 17/18 magnesiums. To me it rides better than my old 99 T/A that was stock. I do it a few times even on the highway where theres a bump but i love the stance on my girl.

Does your passenger side sit lower than your driverside when you lowered it?

Does the passenger side sit lower than the driver side? Can anyone verify. I lowered mine with Eibach springs and bilstein hd shocks with the rear sway bar and the passenger iside seems a little lower but you can't really notice till you measure the gap between the rear tire and rear fender.

LOL!! No worries man. Mine does exactly the same. When you get in the car it levels up perfectly. Try it one day. Tell someone to get in it and watch how nice it levels up!
