Pictures suck, the weather sucks, but ohh well.

Tires are 205/60/15 Falken Ziex ZE-512.

Cars far from done..
I need to redo the tail lights, side skirts or some kind of lip kit, new front bumper, rear bumper doesn't match either. Im still thinking of getting new rims, atleast the bigger tires didn't make them look too small, and it killed my wheel gap alittle more.

That is the perfect drop.

what are those springs?

They're goldline springs on srt4 struts. Im alittle worried about them after hearing a few stories of them snapping.

Looks good! What's wrong with the tails that you have to re-do them?

Looks great. They make your rims look a little bigger now.

I used rc car tint and it faded, you can't tell they are tinted. Plus the clear I used is flaking. Im going to do them with your method.

I just didn't like the way it looked with the smaller tires, kind of left me with a decent amount of wheel gap.

Sounds good! You need help or a photoshoot LMK...if we ever get the damn NE neons together.

To me the perfect drop is one where it makes the whole car sit evenly. Mat's rear end is a little bit higher than his front end. But it's still a drop and it's still better than stock height.

I think your thick meaty tires are thick enough. I wouldn't get any thicker than that. But they do come in handy for potholes.

What kind of front and rear bumper are you planning to get?

It is a personal preference i guess, IMHO the perfect drop is when the wheel-gap is similar front and back.... something I really dislike about my Eibach-pro kit is that although the car is even, the gap is different..

His car will look even nicer if he had bigger rims/ thinner tires....

Im still working on new rims, I had one of tires blow out. I had to replace it and figured I'd replace them all. When I can find a cheap set of rims the style I want, Im gonna get them.
