    I got 17" 10 spokes and the stock GFX kit and its low, i cant even jack it up or put it on my lift, so, if u plane on working on ur car, or keeping the paint on the bottom intact, i wouldnt lift it, or do what im doing, and get an air suspension kit [img]smile.gif[/img]

      a coil-over setup would be the easiest to work w/ when you have gfx. I don't recommend going more than 1" lowering w/ a body kit unless you know you can make it over speed bumps and can clear your jack. There are several coil-over kit out there for our cars. The one I'm looking at it the ground control coil-over kit and using koni single adjustable shocks w/ them.

          1.2 drop in the front, 1.7 in the back...with the stock ground effects...never scraped them once. You just have to be careful thats all. Go ahead and do it.

              Yeah I have had no issues with it. I mean sure its low...only difference is...you have to be aware of whats infront of you on the road more. Just pay attention and your good to go. [img]smile.gif[/img] All the looks I get are definately worth it [img]smile.gif[/img]

              Since you have the WW one..i think thats the diff. My stock front w68 gfx kinda of slope off while yours covers the whole front. Is that where your scratching it the most...right in the center??
