Now you have me hoping i am going to go with the right drop on my car. When i put my new wheels on I have 3inch OPG drop springs for the front and the 2inch OPG for the rear. I hope the 3inch fronts are not too low!
How is your front clearance?
Front clearance is good. I don't think I could go any lower. It would more then likely rub on the fenders when turning. I also think it depends on the wheel and tire size as well. The buick in the earlier post has 19" rear and it looks slammed way lower then mine.

It's been said before and it true. Wheels and Stance are everything. A car could be primered or freshly painted, but if it doesn't have nice wheels with the proper stance it doesn't have that 'Sic A$$' look. instead, it's just another car.

I love both of those. I got superspokes myself. But I was stuck between superspoke, whiplash and that last one which I suddenly forgot what it is called. I love all three of them and every picture I see of each makes me want one. I love the entire Rushforth line and now with the NewGen line coming out I have a second favorite. I know I sound like a hidden add for Driverz Inc and Rushforth but I like their wheels and Driverz Inc is great to deal with. Just my experience and taste.

do you have a 4" lip? and how much space do you have between the wheel and the inner fender?

Vince, If you don't mind sharing why did you change wheel designs?

I can barely get my fingers around the rear wheel when it is flat on the ground.
I went with the 5 spoke because I felt it suited the car much better.

Killer stance & wheel combo! I have the Eibach's on my 'lark now and want to bring the rear down but was hesitant to use the 3" springs...you solved that I think!

LiveWires look so much better on that car than the Whiplash. The polished lip and 5 spoke just bring the whole car together. Jon really knows what he is talking about as far as what looks good on what. Good choice and well done.
