Perhaps it would look a bit better if the rear was raised to match the front in the sense of how the front fender overlaps the front wheel. That would equate things at least.

damn guys! all your setups look awesome! I just have one question for everyone. Is anyone else experiencing a rattling/clunking noise coming from the rear, changing sides at random. Originally it was the plate that mounts to the lower control arm coming loose. But i put a lock washer on both sides as per what ksport reccomend i do. that fixed the issue of the plates coming loose. now the noise is back, and the bolts and plates are all tight. I have checked everything, my shocks are tight, hubs are tight, lower arm bolts are tight. Im stumped, anyone else having this issue?

I am even ride height.. I love how it looks, I won't raise the back to match the wheel tuck.. I understand that the wheel wells are different... Don't want the back higher then the front...
Look closely.. Wheel well in front is larger and about 2 inches higher then the rear... It's shaped differently...

^This. I'm not a fan of the raked look. If the back was raised to match the front, or the front tucked to match the rear I think it'd be a bit too much rake.

Perhaps if this was an older car then that style would be more suiting. The types of older cars that use smaller wheels and hydraulics. Doing this on an import just looks funny but that's my opinion.

This height looks far better to me...

Whatever!!! When you get your set, you can do what you want... I just dont care what other people think anymore... I don't go by a style or look, I'm want ride height, and even throughout...

It may not be your style but I don't care... Go look at the rs7.. Only reason he is tucked is he put 20's on it... Didn't see anyone get on him about ride height or look.. And I wonder why I stay away from forums, it's not much of the opinions, is that everyone is an expert and think it has to look a certain way or it's gotta be this....
Got the same thing from a$$es about my Yakima rack... That they don't like the look of a rack on a tc... Well hello people it's not a look.. I use it daily to transport my bike to trails...

Peace.. I'm done ranting... Little crabby today

O and if they think the wheels done look like theyre tucking the same it would be because the front camber adjustment. add more camber to match the camber tilt from the back.

ragingbull, forget about all the style do's and dont's, could you elaborate on any changes or issues in handling as a result of lowering the car at max? Have you noticed any characteristics that might need addressing such as increased understeer, body roll,etc?

It handles excellent.. I was having bad body roll at first which caused me to rub the fender at max turns, I upped the dampers to 19 and moved up the spring perch to tighten up the coil to have less roll.. Also after alignment and put the fronts at -2 camber turning s noe excellent with little or no rub..
As for the rear with it at full max dump any hard bump I hit bump stop.. Nothing crazy to worry about.. Patiently wait for A-RCA's for our tcs.

All in all it's a great suspension
