hey guys... I got a question for ya. For some reason, my car sits WAY higher than any other galant i have ever seen! I have 17"s on it, and its unbelievable. It looks like a damn monster truck! What could be causing this UNBELIEVABLE height, lol. Its just embarrasing. Someone help me out. Thanks!

it could be the actual height of the wheel. might be higher than stock...

or it could just be just u, caused by the low profile tires making the car look higher than it really is

I agree low profile tires makes you wheel well gap look much bigger, b/c there is less wheel to fill in the gap, resulting in the "off-road look". https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

All you need to fix your monster well, are lower springs like progress, sprints, eibach, h&R, etc.

if you extra cash get some KYB AGX shocks and struts.

And WOLA!!!, you have an approx 2in drop in front and a 1.8 in back.

Thats wat i have with Sprint Springs and KYB AGX.

I kno Progress Springs give the same drop. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif GOOD LUCK

Is this an illusion you're experiencing like other members have said, or is your car actually measurably higher? There was a 4 cylinder 2003 DE on our dealership lot that had an entire 9 inch clearance from the ground at the jacking points.

THis is the funniest Sh*t I've ever heard. I'm laughing as you read this. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif At least you have a different look than any other GALANT out there! J/K I would have to say that you need to invest in some lowering springs. You dont even have to go all out. Just some Eibach or Intrax would do. I have the Intrax Lowering springs and some 18 inch rims with some Perelli P7000's 215/45/18 and I'm scraping my front end on driveways if I dont take them sideways. Good luck. and thanks for the laugh of the week! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

i do that at stock height. could just be the driveways i go up and down but thats what scaring me about dropping.
