    So i recently got my coilovers but didnt have a chance to install until about two days ago. Installation went quite smooth but had some rubbing issues upfront so last night had my fenders rolled which gave me the clearance i needed. im still fine tuning the suspension and im nowhere near where i want it to be. here are some pics of how my car sits now, let me know what yall think and give me some feed back.

    wheels/tires specs:
    enkei 92's 15x8 +25 all the way around
    Kumho ecsta's 195/50

    The last pic is of me standing about 10ft or so away from the car at eye level which kind of gives you an idea of how low it is, and i am by no means tall at all (5ft 7in).
    i plan to go lower in the front once i get smaller tires and hopefully soon i can pick up a full ralliart oem lip kit which i think would make a huge difference in appearance

    Nice...more low with a R/A lip would be pushing it a little. BTW, I've been thinking of getting one of those rear window visors off-and-on for a while now. How do you like it?

    Thanks guys. I was thinking maybe if I got r/a lip and what not that my car would appear lower than what it actually is, you know kinda filling in the gaps without sacrificing clearance.

    N I like the rear visor alot, not to many lancers have them but one guy in my city has it with the vortex generators as well n it looks kinda weird imo. So if you ever do decide maybe might wanna take into consideration that you might have to take off the vg.

    I wanted to get the rear visor thing, but since I have the vg, I didn't want to have both. Seem too cluttered I would think. I might consider getting the visor though and replacing it. Where'd you get it from?

    ^^ me too. Also, I would hate cleaning the part of the window that it covers. It must suck trying to clean up in the corners of that thing...

    Actually cleaning isn't so bad. The window part that it covers stays clean cause it's covered lol. I got it off eBay like a year ago so you could look there they should still have it.

    I'm about to check now. I'm looking at getting those projectors everyone gets, so if I see it, I'll probably think about it a lot harder.

    Edit: I found a whole bunch of them. All under $100 too, so not too bad of a price, I guess.

    I think mine cost like $80 plus shipping. I agree with 2quick, halo projectors look horrible. Try to get some that resemble Oem

    I figured I'd try something different right before I sell them n plus black is boring so I just wanted to see what white what look like
