These are ground control coilovers. I will get a side view soon. The back view is crazy. It looks like I got bags in the rear. I still have a half inch in the rear. Its already tucking factory tires. I will have to raise it up when I get my 20" wheels.

I was wondering about that, thinking that a lowered car makes it more likely to cause problems with the tires making contact with the wheel well, particularly when turning corners on a bumpy road.Comments?

Mine came from a local shop thats sponsoring me here where I live. They came with direction. I have no problems with turning and it handles really good. The ride is excellent considering that these are coilovers. A little bouncy on rough roads but overall this is the best suspension I've put on a vehicle.

You guys must have great roads cuz I would never think about dropping it that much here in Montreal. I am already nervous with my 1.75 inch drop when I get my springs lol

But don't worry about the drop, after one week, you won't see the difference ('xcept in downtown) in comfort, just in handling!!!you didn't receive them yet???

lets see a side view, if they look right I'd like those instead of bags. with a system there is no room for the compressor in my car unless i have to do another custom job to make room for that too.

i have a 2003 vibe with 18 in wheels on it. I was thinking about lowering it 1.6 infront and 2.2 inch in the back? I was wondering about rubbing tires?Also i was wondering if you had got new struts also.Did you have to get your wheels re-alined and your camber altered?

If you change wheel size but keep same diametre by using low profiles you shouldn't rub.
