Hey all,
I'm looking to get your opinions on which look you personally like better. The pics are of my 98 before and after 1" wheel spacers in the rear. I'm just curious which you prefer.
Thanks Guys!
Nick

I like how the after shots look. But in the pics at least, it looks like it needs to be lowered a bit.

Hope you switched to hardened bolts when you put the spacers on.

Yeah me too. She's already 1.5" lowered and with the spacers, going lower is not an option. I think I'd have to go to a .5" spacer to go lower.

No, I mean drop the car lower with a set of lowering springs. Put the wheels more up and into the wheel well. I think the spacing looks great.

Yeah that's what I mean, I wish I could but with the spacers, the tire is too close to the lip of the fender and if I drop her anymore, it will rub for sure. That's why I think I'd have to go to a .5" spacer.

Ah... I see what you mean. So you'd either have to go with a thinner spacer or roll the fender lip to get her down any lower.

Yeah...sucks...but at the same time, I scrap over speed bumps as it is being 1.5" dropped. I have no idea how people go so low...lol. I'd love to though. Thanks for all the opinions...It's much appreciated

If you go to tirerack.com they have a good set of instructions and a tool that you can rent to roll the fender lip.

Sweet! Thanks so much again. I'll do that. I think another half inch would do it.

Going lower is ALWAYS an option!

Looks better with the spacers

Thanks guys I'm think I'm for sure going to leave them on. I do want to swap them out for more expensive one's though. I can feel a slight vibration coming off of these.
