my hooptie

hey guys, this is a 2001 mitsubishi lancer in PHDM (philippine domestic market) trim. ive done some mods to it so i dont look like everyone else. hehe. =) im thru with the racer boy look cuz i always get revved at and the police are always ragging on me. anyway this is a daily driven car with NO airbags, just shortened shocks and lowering springs, not too big rims (any bigger and my tires will hit the fender), diamante grill, and an A/V system. im planning on getting sideskirts for my car and lowering it just a bit more. comments and suggestions will be very much appreciated. =)

That is easily fixed. Have a look at some of the cars on here, and you will get a feel for how they do it in the VIP world. Tsuraichi, or flush fitment (where the rim of the wheel looks like it is going to touch the fender) is one of the most defining aspects of vipstyle, and when done correctly, makes people literally stop and stare at your car
 
mine is by no means a perfect example, but to give you an idea, this setup does not rub with regular driving (occasionally with 3 people in the back it does):

Thats regular driving height

@ dominik: i thought of that but i was worried about the tires' tread life. hehe. do i need air suspension for that? if i can achieve that without air suspension ima give it a shot. :)

I am on coilovers; Personally i think its easier to achieve perfect fitment with coilovers since you can accurately adjust the height of your suspension (so that the wheel sits at the exact spot you want it to).
 
My setup has a fair bit of camber (6.5 degrees), but you can achieve a similar look with around 3 degrees of camber, which isnt crazy (alot of lowered cars have about that much camber). My tyres lasted me a year of weekend driving, but with less camber, it should last much longer (as long as the rest of your alignment settings are good). 
 
Anyway, have a look around at how the others are doing it, and i am sure you will figure it out!

yeah, im guessing some camber would look better. thanks man!

have you guys sen the junction produce sports kits on their website? was wondering if maybe i could pull off that look. :)

Welcome! Nice whip! Go with air ;)
