I may pull off the caps. I'm just kinda 'meh' about it. Doesn't really matter to me.


Aaaaand, MaxBoost925, you can't get air before me. It's a rule... Lol!

Just lucky I guess..... and I never keep migits in the front, That wouldnt be right....

But seriously I have no explanation to why it looks lower... I didnt do the install myself I had Hotchkis do it.... Those guys over there are great, I figured they designed the TVS and I felt better having them do the install.....

There's a lot of determining factors as why a car looks lower than another...

I'd suggest either trying to get someone with the same size of wheel/tire combo you're running to take measurements and compare.

After dropping an xB2 with the DF210's, my car with the Hotchkis is still noticably lower.

Oh, and looks good, lowpatrol! But you already knew this!

I need larger wheels in the worst type of way.

And I just dropped over $600 on new tires.
