I reckon a snow plow would probably do the same thing :troll:
Except that's front to rear balance, and not side to side. :cheeky:

Car looks pretty clean as is though!

By the look of it those rims fit because the FTO is standard height, you may have a bit of rubbing if you go for a lower suspension setup.

BTW, rims look good, well done. :D

yes altought i have coil overs ride height is about the same as standard only lowered about half an inch maybe.

... the trick will be to do the kit for it... that should be the next project after i manage to install the following to it

ps no i did not roll the edges
