I have been looking around at different suspension setups and I stumbled across this wagon. What do you guys think about it? The good the bad and the ugly

I appreciate the work that went into it but I'm not a fan of the tire setup. The way the tires are "stretched" on the rims just doesn't look good to me. The front end work on the car is amazing though.

Sure does look nice in pictures, doesn't look very practical though.

Not a fan. 235's on a 10.5" wheel are ridiculous.

Aside from having too-small tires and too-low suspension, the car looks good.

I've seen this before and commented on it. I guess this is the "europian look" .... but to me that's like going to hood and seeing people with their pants around their thighs. Sidewalls are stretched way too far for safety,

Ya I've seen the articles on this car too. The tires are pretty stretched but to each his own. I still really like that csr front bumper though.

Oh don't get me wrong, bumper is beautiful. I'd drive this car any day of the week. It probably drives like shit. And just wait until it hits a bump and that wheel lip does damage to the front fender...or better yet the dynamic drive goes haywire and the car pushes up on one side and drops the other. looool
