WHYYYYY!?!? Why you gotta make me want to lower my car so bad and mess up my suspension geometry?
It so, so AWESOME!
What is the profile on those tires? 50? 45?
I don't wanna scare ya or anything, but they're 205/40s lol living a little on the dangerous side :banana:
and yes ruin your car! that's what they are for!
It was bittersweet seeing this thing low again, Especially when the front lip scraped real hard backing it out.
Did you go with a 35 offset? I'm a little worried, l went 42
We went et34 on these!

Hold up, mate. I thought you loved Sarah!
Ok, maybe I'm only half-serious.
It does look super sweet. It is a bit scary hearing how little sidewall you have and how far it's being stressed.However, since it's still a long way off from 'hellaflush stretch' I'll give it a pass.
That R32 on the other hand... :banana::banana::banana:

Yeah the .:R is pretty bad haha. I kinda regret going that small. I'll probably get rid of these wheels after Sowo in May. I might even get rid of the air and the car. I kind of want to do adult things and get a reliable daily but something thats still kind of cool, like an e90 or a b8 a4.

Hahah idk man we were in it today and there was a rock in the road. Probably the size of a golf ball.. She went to stradle it but the front lip caught it and basically bounced it off of the underside. It sounded pretty terrible. Luckily nothing was damaged. Just gotta continue to drive carefully.

Wow. That is pretty low. That's the risk you take when you lower it that far!!
The lip on the front of these things catches on a lot. I am only lowered on Eibachs and mine catches all the time when I leave my house. Gotta go slow and sideways to keep it from dragging. I can't imagine what would happen at your ride height...
Maybe raise it like a 1/2" for just a little bit more clearance.

What do you guys think of making like a mock up diff on the rear bumper? I'm considering some flat black wrap to wrap where the section is.
It you were brave enough, you could always cut out that section entirely with a hack saw and see if Beastlick could make you a grille-mesh insert.
As far as ride hight, you might want enough clearance to straddle roadkill, at least. Wouldn't want the front to bulldoze the dead neighborhood cat down the street like a bloody cheese grater... I hear blood splatter does not do nice things to paint.

Definitely not ballsy enough to cut it. Maybe if we sourced another rear bumper fairly cheap we would. Wrap is fairly cheap... I'll try it and see how it looks.It you were brave enough, you could always cut out that section entirely with a hack saw and see if Beastlick could make you a grille-mesh insert.

My boring white LT needs a rear diffuser badly. I watched a youtube video and tehy installed one...top glues on ..bottom bolts where the current bumper bolts.
I can't fnd the video though and it was in another language. It also included the side rockers , from splitter and some strange black side panels glued to the bottom of each door.

I've already got the dual tips on one side... I've started thinking about quad tips. It's a dangerous train of thought...
I'm thinking single tips on both sides or if we're getting real technical, center dual tips. kinda like mk4 / mk5 r32 style
