I'm going to take pictures of this so you all can get a better look.

Those of you that were at Oceanside saw my new rims and the gap between the tire and top of the wheel well . What is confusing the hell out of me is the fact that the rear looks fine, yet in the front there is a huge gap!

If I lowered the car, it still wouldn't look right cause the although the front would come down, so would the rear and it would look stupid. Unless I just lowered the front, but it seems to me that shouldn't be.

I have yet to really inspect underneath the car, but do you think the rear suspension is sagging? I'm gonna have to take it in to be looked at. I'll post pictures tomorrow so you can get an idea. It just seems weird.

I developed a bubble in the front left tire, so I have to replace the tire (both of them actually, can't replace just 1). I want to figure out if I should get thicker sidewalls for the front to fill that void instead of lowering it. If I lowered it, it would be way too close to the ground. I scrape going up ramps as it is.

I'll know more when I get that thing up on a rack.

I don't recall, but I thought the car looked fine lol! Anyway, I can't remember which exactly, but I think the Koni suspension kit lowers the front an inch or two and raises the back a little bit...so maybe you might want to ask around to find out if it's the koni's or the eibachs that do that. It might solve your problem, and hell it'll help your car handle better too!!! Later bro.

of course you could have broken struts...but you'd know about that...even if they leaked dry the ride would be a little rough me thinks..ask Mus27@aol.com, he's got the koni's, that might fix your problem.
