Raise rear or Lower front?

Re: Raise front or Lower rear?

Lower the front and back!

X2! And tuck the fattest rear tires possible.

Here's a few member's cars that I like the stance of.

Re: Raise front or Lower rear?

raising the front looks like you took weight off the end and didn't spend the money for new springs or time to cut the old ones. It looks dumb, mine looks like that now I'll cut springs in a week or two. If you want that gasser look then raise the front. You can still fit some wheel/tire in there without raising it.

maybe its just me, but those 24"s or whatever guys like don't belong on these cars, the body is so thin and distinctly lined that those wheels just looks stupid. You could probably fit 20"s in there without too much work. Thicker cars without lines it works better, like a lot of newer cars, the 300c comes to mind.

A better photo would help but if its nearly level with a slight rake to the front that looks great to me. I am no fan of the *ss hanging myself. Although if you have money and time to burn dropping the whole car 1 1/2" while keeping a slight rake to the front looks even better but it may not be worth it if you have rough roads or driveways to deal with often. Some people drop their cars and like the look but because of the ride and clearence drive them less and more cautiously and end up enjoying them less. I believe this is your daily driver.

Re: Raise front or Lower rear?

must've been tired or distracted when i wrote the topic of this. I meant raise the rear or lower the front. 😳

This is my daily in the spring/summer, but i have a winter vehicle. roads can be pretty bad around the area, but are avoidable.

i think i'm just going to cut the front springs to see how it looks. maybe loose 2" maybe a little more. might chop a little off the back too. 8)

Drop the front first. Go easy, i'd say no more than 3/4 coil. Then see where it sits.

I think it looks great the way it is.

I prefer stock ride height myself, cuz I don't like dragging when I pull into driveways and most of the roads in MN are sh*t.

im with blake stock ride height i like, but im more of an original looking car kinda guy so i would say that lol. but if ya wanted to something id drop the front and the rear just a hair and keep it level. maybe like an inch not a lot. get one of them performance suspension kits i know edelbrock makes one it cost a bit

just put a bigger tire on the back and itll look better 8)

I like the stock ride height. What size tires do you have now? Moderately tinted windows would go well with the blacked out grill ralleys & white letter tires.
