Oh, I also went with a 40 series tire instead of a 35( Lot's of pot-holes in Knoxville.), so it fills in the wheel wells more too.
 
Tires look a lil low... you might want to check them if u havent already...
Back on topic: It looks really good...I wish I could afford Espelirs sometime soon but the turbo is taking away all the modding money.

Espelirs are 1.4" drop. fronts are progressive, rears are linear.

I thought the Rears were progressive and the Fronts were linear.
Makes more sense if the rears are progressive since it's lighter in the back.
and the fronts linear to give a tighter feel at turn in.

any idea on the spring rates?? It looks nice.
Rishie's guide has the rates, and say's the front are progressive and the rear are linear, I think.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure that those are switched... everywhere else says the the rears are progressive.
 
Yeah tires do look low. Probably from the dramatic temp change. When I got the tire on last week it was 55-60 highs, now it's 38 for a high.

That would explain why the rear sits a little higher I guess.

I like the raked out look like that.

That would do it.
 
do you by chance have a before and after of the rear alone?? Or can you say has it lowered muched, stayed the same, or maybe even raised??
 
Looks very nice, how long have you had the new springs on? They will settle in a little more and I still can't believe you don't rub. I got +50 offset and I'm cutting it close on 40 series with some negative camber....ah who knows. Good for you though.
 
Forgot to mention the wheel is 7.5 too.

I checked the tires and the pressure is fine. It just looks like that because I'm putting on a tire made for a 1/2" smaller rim, I think. The walls of the tires go inward.
 
drop looks good. are those vxfilmers old wheels? i love those enkies in bronze. i wanted them but went with the falkens instead. if im ever in knoxville ill hit you up. car looks 10xs better with that drop
