Would this be considered the slammed look? I installed 3G Eclipse Eibach Pro-Kit P/N 6035-140. It looks sweet, but a little low for my tastes. Anyone wanna trade for a Galant pro-kit?

yeah it's not slammed. slammed is tucking tire in front and back (even tucking rim). that simply looks lowered (which looks 100x better than stock).

this is slammed:

yeah but the trade off when going to air is a loss of performance handling.

I heard that they have improved the handling so its more like OEM. If its true its great news for us who wont slammed Gs :D

OE handling was never very good performance wise... it is soft and comfortable, but it wallows and understeers on hard cornering... usually performance handling and comfort are not found together.

I was talkin about the comfort :) I would guess that air ride is far from good handling :P

02on19s and 2kGalant are indeed slammed.

Here is another example however:

Those are some nice rides I wish I could lower mine more but I'm already scrapping the driveway bad in the front but I'm going to drop it more from the back

In his pic the back is almost tucking wheel? Although on both cars the front is too high

I'd agree no one on this site is slammed.

the rear was lower at one point but it looked bad to me. i actually have 1"-1 1/2" more adjustment available in the back and about 1/2"-1" more adjustment in the front (the rear is higher and the car tilts down in the front in order to have matching wheel gap to fender appearance since our front wells are so big)... but since my front bumper and fogs costs more than most people's wheels, i will not be lowering it any more unless i got ROBERUTA cups or went to full air ride to temporarily lift the front for driveways and speed bumps. the 8G has such a long front overhang (even the JDM bumpers) that ground clearance on driveways/grade changes is much worse even at the same height as other lowered cars. also remember my car is camber corrected at all four corners and this makes the tuck less apparent as opposed to negative cambered, sunken wheel tops.

The overhang causes problems with stock height also.
A friend of mine who have a white Galant just like mine have tucked his wheels but since hes riding on 19s and me on 18s, mine is lower :D
