    Let me clarify. Stickers on bumpers and body panels is rice. The windows are the ONLY place for stickers.

    Im gonna have to agree with this and I think that the way you have it set up will reduce front end grip unless those rear springs are really really stiff.

    The only reason I say this is because smaller springs are usually stiff and in fwd you dont want a lot of the center of gravity weight to transfer to rear springs.

    Save up for some coilovers before you put down power or body kits cause you will fuck something up and regret it. Thats just how I feel.

    A filipino's number one dream is to own a car before anything else. In the philippines, most private car owners consider their vehicles as an extension of their home but with one differrence: a home is where his wife cooks while a car is where his girlfriend builds a fire. Hmmm...

    This is a classic situation of trying to create an aggressive look and the end result is both awkward looking and a safety issue.

    Please tell me what "kit" you got that slams the back end. There are members here that have run every setup with no problems, so I'm sure you aren't the first.

    My guess is that you bought coilovers or (god forbid) springs that you cut for the front only, cause you couldn't afford anything for the backend.

    So do yourself a favor and get your ride height fixed, before you kill your car and (again, god forbid) someone else.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    Lemme guess:

    You lowered the front, but kept the rear stock height right? Back then I knew 3 8g owners/ric0rz in my area that did same thing thinking it was cool to have it lowered just in the front to "save money" or "the rear slammed too low". Guess what, all 3 of them lost control of their vehicle and got into an accident one way or another. Lesson learned from them but it was very costly on their wallets...
