First pic of my y33

Finally put everything together. Great pic for anyone wanting to see what 18s look like on a y33. I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to drop the car a little more (1/2 inch?). I have on the Tein Springs and it looked fine on the stock wheels, but now is noticably a little higher in the back.

I did cut 1/2 coil on all springs on the bottom, it's about 1" lower, maybe 3/4", but noticeably lower. Still rides great too. Oscar (Pancakes) said he could tell it looked different when he saw it at HIN. The pic where you're on the driveway doesn't count cause the angle it's parked and the angle of the driveway completely throw it off, but the top pic looks about right, they will settle though.

The rear SHOULD be a little higher than the front, they are designed that way. Put 2 people in the back and it will sit down more. I personally HATE when cars are lower in the rear, these are not mini trucks, tail dragging and throwing sparks, that shit looks gay. Keep the front slightly lower, it gives an aggressive stance to a car, like it's a cat about to pounce on it's prey.

Yeah Teins with the stock wheels are quite deceiving as with factory wheels your tires were probably a lot thicker, looks good so far but still needs to come down a bit. What's your wheel specs?
