Hi guys I dropped my car on Stance GR+ and it is looooooow. My friends did tweaking and finally got it to where it was acceptable for me to drive around. I am running on 17x7 rims. 205/40/17 all around. Thinking bout going bigger and wider in the back. let me know what you think and what i can do to get a more aggressive stance.

Front

Rear tucking (brought it up some more after )

Cant really see, but have neg camber and my exhaust is hanging low

Don't mind the body damage >.<

Brought it up an half an inch or so

I don't think you know what flush means.That's the opposite of flush, that's sunken.

I agree that your low.but thats not flush.

Flush:

To get where your claiming to be, you first need to get rid of those wheels.17x7 is a stock wheel size.

Oh boy.

"Flushness" is purely cosmetic, so get it out of your head that it even matters (unless you're worried about impressing the "cool" kids...

But those 17x7 +40's are gonna need about 30mm of spacer to get anywhere near the fender lip.

Let's get the ride height back to a functional level, because I'm betting that car rides like poo with all that drop and unused camber.

First off, I hope you have your flame suit on, because im sure this thread will be harsh.

1. No you are not flush, and you will not have good fitment with a 7" wide wheel period.

2. Your not functionally low. If you had the right wheels you could rock that stance but you cant right now.

3. Im sick of ppl saying that they are flush just because they tucked the wheel, when said wheel isnt even close to the fender.

Btw, dont be to worried about being "flush", I think alot of ppl get caught up in the hellaflush trend more that performance. Just make it look nice.

Just save up for some nice wheels, enjoy your coils at a dd height, then go for flush whenever you can afford it.

Regardless, you've got the right attitude. Get together with some locals and enjoy the boards - We'll be here through your build.
