Hell yes I agree. Lowering a car brings out a whole different aspect to it and can accentuate the lines more, especially when sitting really low. Lowering isn't just 'oh pull the springs out bo will be phat' like some people seem to think.

In other words it looks cool low. Does it handle sweet that low or does it jump around with the bigger blocks in the back?

Doesnt handle too bad. Im a bit relucktant to drop the clutch or launch with the larger blocks in. Looks as if the diff would just roll off. Front handles pretty well. has huge dia bilsteins in it.

its dirty cause i was thrashing it on vineyard, got real dirty.

Yeah wheels are average.. but out of the wheels that are availiable in this stud pattern readily are def the best.

If I had the money id have a set of Simmon mesh rims or the Simmons 5 spokes. Damn have 5g tho. Sticking with these untill a wheel company realese a decent im in 4x108 or till I stop being a student and get a real job.

That place is kinda by the big roundabout. If your going towards gizzy its before the roaundabout up a road on your right. called Otora road or something. has two sharp as 45k corners on the road. Its the Mcintires farm/orchid. Cant see that part where car is parked from road however.
