Hey guys!!
yah im fairly new to the site and havent properly introduced myself.
I'm usually a lurker and just try to find good deals in the classified section or post some of my mods for sale.
anyways, someone pointed out that I didnt replace the shocks...you do have a point because they'll blow sooner or later but I was actually aiming for KW V2s but just couldnt come up with the cash in time for MFEST this april 16th so the race springs dropped almost as low.
and I did get beefy tires for the height which is why im looking for 30 sidewalls in the front and 25 in the rear...or maybe go with a 235/35/20 front and 275/30 rear.
I have a lot of work to do but with the new job I started this week hopefully mods will come in much faster than the past 6 months.
thanks for all the comments
if you have any questions feel free to PM me

dude DO NOT get KW coils if you plan to run that setup
get JIC/Cross coilovers, they are roughly the same price and are monotube with the ability to adjust the height from the bottom and not mess with the spring rates, unlike KWs

good lord... 
what happens when you guys hit a pot hole? do you say... good bye fenders? paint job? tires? rims? woah?
Do you stop and take a quick look? I'm amazed these drops & tire match ups don't ruin the ride... it must be a Cali thing not worrying about the pot holes...

its just a matter of knowing the route before you drive and knowing where you can and probably shouldnt go or atleast what other roads to take

might look great but i wont drive my car with those set up... thats like asking for fender to fly off....i want to drive still fast without worrying about every bump or drive "Ultimate driving machine "... instead of car being so tucked in, it is like driving "non ultimate driving machine"

Looks nice.. if its a show car only. Good luck driving that shit daily in anywhere besides small town USA.
The camber is also waayyyy too much. Those tires will last like 3000 miles and there is going to be sparks because of the steel threads.

lol you guys have no clue about setups like these
you can easily DD something like this
sparks wont go flying and fenders wont pop off either lol...you guys crack me up, everyone thinks you dont get the normal setup your car will be all jacked up which is deffinately not the case
all of my cars have looks similar to this and i DD'd them everyday for multiple years

I think it's a little over done, but it's for a show and the general public tends to like crazy over the top cars. I like an aggressive stance but this isn't flush, it's poked. I think the wheels would look better if they were brought in a few mm imo.

Why bother with fenders, who needs em! I mean then you can just make the tires even wider, right? 15" wide tires! In all seriousness, that dude's car can never leave his garage and (imo) I think it looks a little too East L.A.
Here, let me give you an example of how that car "should" look to keep it not only classy but functional:
