Thanks. Thought about going hellaflush, but 37 is crap and I already scoop up gravel into the engine bay at this height. Haha. Figured to go with a track look instead. Haha

Definitely not mad at you for not going the hellaflush route, I'll always love a clean track look! My next car will definitely at a similar height with some nice fitting wheels. Unless, I end up going with air ride, then I'll be going all out ;)

I'm actually happy I didn't go the Hellaflush route. If I had stretched tires, I'm sure the wheel lips would be all scuffed up. If you refer back to the clear side marker pic, you can see how much the tires dig into the gravel by just driving through everyday.

Also, another pic of when I got high centered (I removed the gravel and dirt that went over the rim/lip/barrel before I took the pic)

They definitely would be unless you have stiff enough springs. But yeah man, I hear you, this look is perfect as a daily driver.

Not necessarily. The tires just dig into the gravel, so suspension stiffness doesn't come into play. My spring rates are on the light(er) side at 6kg square. This really neutralized my car's handling since OEM, the rear is stiffer. Which is fine, because I can take on ramps quickly and have a neutral, to slight understeer feel. However, since I lowered the car this much, my center of gravity actually became higher, so it's an odd sensation of having less body roll with a higher center of gravity.
