Perhaps too low??!!

Lowered my car today with links, i was too busy to re-adjust the back but it probably needs to go up. The back is like 3" from the ground!! Waiting on my 20's!!

the back is way to low for normal driving. I had my rear low, but when I took a sharp left turn, the weight shifted to the right, and I could hear the tire rubbing like crazy. if you are getting new wheels you should lower it and compare with new wheels.

Okay, that makes more sense if this extra low ride height is only when parked.

Too low for my taste..... Just keep in mind at the height in this pic, its not a question of IF something will get damaged...the question is WHEN. Take if from a guy that has replaced oil pans, crossmembers, cracked bumpers, tires, etc all because I wanted that low, cool look. These cars are relatively heavy and were not designed to be driven this low.

Unless you creep around at 50 mph of less everywhere you go, it is just a matter of time before you tear some shit up....or run over something you can't clear....it's inevitable!

Not hating on your look...cuz I been there but you did ask for opinions
