Default What looks good

I have a 2001 black ws6 i want to give an aggressive stance ive seen all the kits and how much they lower the car but not actually on the car just magazines. What kind of drop kits do you use and how do you think they look.
I wanna stay atleast a coke can off the ground and i dont like bags. Thanks for help.

I run Bilstein HD's with Hotchkis springs. Gives a mean stance but still clears what I need it too. Handles real well also.

I put a chop on my stock springs (1.5 coils cut off) and it gave me a nice stance, but no coke can here either. I actually drug a beer can 2 blocks when I first did it!



Dropped it about 3"

It looks like it sits at too much of an angle for my taste.
It gives it a nice "muscle car look" though.

I had a little more air in the rear shocks than I run usually, it's normally a lot more level.

Is your rocker panel on the passenger side dented? I bought mine used and it has a dent there as well, except a little further back. I guess the last owner jumped a curb or something.

Car looks good though.

I'm running a BMR kit and I like it... I just need to get my front end down a tiny bit more for my liking but it still looks great. I'm just never happy with anything I do
