For some reason that wheel/tire combo on this car reminds me of ‘petite feet’…sorry, I had to:) Big manly car… [https://youtu.be/Q3SZ4lSvH9o](https://youtu.be/Q3SZ4lSvH9o) ---

The car looks great! My car is lowered a lot and rubs everywhere I drive. It’s just right. ---

Doug I was just looking for a pic of your car to post in here, haha. Love the way yours looks and I’m sure it still hooks with that tire…well at least some what. ---

It does really well on the street. I do have Qa1’s all around and a 275lb spring up front/Lowering springs with the heater hose mode in the rear. Also no front sway bar. It rubs the front end on steep inclines and have to take angles when pulling in anywhere. I think JT’s car sits nice though. The stock ls1 cars were SO HIGH off the ground stock. What you can’t see if my true duals about 2" off the ground and they do rub everywhere. I had the front down on the coilovers all the way when I first installed them and couldn’t get it off the lift. It looked killer! I think that a 27" inch drag radial on the back of JT’s car would fill it up nice. Most likely would not have to roll the fenders at that point.

Don’t listen to faggots who say to lower it. They’re most likely used to a fucking shit box car that has rear wheels that propel nothing except for stretch and poke faggot wheels which are wider then the fronts, fggts.
