Really nice! Like the new rims. Miss the Ecos, something about them I really like.
Do you need a kidney belt now? If you get any lower you can vacuum hardwood floors.

I posted in another thread about how you made me like those rims. Kinda hate you for it. 
I would have rims by now. However, nothing, and I mean nothing looks as good and is as light weight.
The Sparcos are a trade off, but who likes settling? Plus, the Ecos fit the stock size for autox. Doesn't get better.
Almost had a set for super cheap as a trade with my LTZ rims. Then some asshat ruined that at the dealer ruined that deal. Swap and I pay 100 bucks. I would have goose stepped that deal all over the forum.
Btw, since you seem active with not keeping mods. What is next?

Daaang! I'm guessing the frame is 2" off the ground. You'll have to rail slide over speed bumps.
Eat that Rob Dierdeck!!!!!
Some should CGI his ride going down a step railing and doing a 50-50 on a picnic table.

I won't dispute that you have the lowest sonic and will prolly hold that title for a very long time. What I'm confused about, is how you're getting 6.5 in the back. My rear wheels appear to be almost as tucked as yours, maybe not as much, but definitely don't look to be 2" difference.
How can this be? I'm running 18's 215/40. What size are your new wheels/tires?
I'll post a pic of mine here in a sec and you tell me if it looks 2" higher.

Can you measure the top center of the rear fenders?

well pre and iraq you both have the sickest Sonic hatches I have seen to date.... both look amazing and stances look sick....so what's a few inches between friends? talking about the cars.

Of course Pre has to shoehorn his pic here
How long before one of you has VXR8 rims? Over/under pool anyone?
For stockers the Opel, Ecos, and VXR8 rims are tough to beat.
Sounds odd saying that about stock rims.

Reading back through my posts I can see how it may look like I'm in a butthurt panic, but I assure you, iraqivet has me beat, by a lot. I'm not trying to compete for his title, I just want a full understanding of the measurements so when I make adjustments of my own, I can make precise estimates of where I'll end up.

I don't think there is any competition, and don't sell yourself short Pre. Vet's car is going for a custom look and you are doing the 1/4 mile track car. Can't really compare.
Now if both of you can slam them to the point of sparking and do 13s, you might as well pull the knife switch and shut the forum down.
