Raise rear or Lower front?

[FE3X CLONE]

After seeing those pics I'd drop the front quite a bit and the rear just a little. Stock ride height with the huge wheel to wheel well gap looks terrible in my opinion.

Yeah, but lowered cars with the stock wheels look goofy too. I say keep it where it is, or at least drop the front just a tad like posted above.

I like it just as is. Same size tires all around?

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

the way you drive the back tires are probably worn down to the same size of the front tires by the end of the day...

Re: Raise front or Lower rear?

I'm not a big fan of the huge rim look but that cutty looks badass...I would only drive it 5mph around town with some paul wall playing

Why would you lower the rear unless you lowered the front also? IMO it would look kinda retarded. I really like the stance you got goin on there if anything get a wider tire in the rear. Again, just my opinion.

So I can sit like this guy:

After I change my wheels again.

lol slowed and throwed

tires are brand new. 255/60/15 and 215/60/14.

f-it!, bag it and put it on the ground lol

i wish haha

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.

thats not a bad idea... havent thought about that for a while.

i think ill play with the front like you guys said. a little at a time. let it settle and see what i end up with.

one thing to remember, cut half as much as you think you need. if 1 coil=1in in measured height, than cutting 1 coil will give you a 2in drop. and after R/Ring springs, it takes a week or two to settle in.
and you have to cut the hard way, with a saw. heat will destroy the temper and make the spring useless.

I'm not a fan of mixing different sizes. The same size at all 4 corners equates to more stability and better handling. You might want to swap one of the 15's off the back to the same side on front and then see how she sits. Use a jack to level the other side with the 14's. Also as megaladon6 said, cut carefully. There is no set rule of "cut this to get that". Every car is different. I cut 1/4 coil at a time then re-check. Lots of work, but once cut, you can't put it back on.
