That drop looks nice, but to me, the back end looks a little lower... looks much, much better than stock though. Did you install them yourself?

BTW: I have my dash painted a glossy black, and it looks awesome. It still looks stock, but the glossy adds a unique touch. I recommend it. Or check out Tony's interior... also very nice.

technically though the back wheel gap should be slightly lower, because that way the car is 100% parallel with the ground. with my drop i was going for even fender gap. for driveability purposes however, you definitely made the right choice!

if you are going for stock appearance, i would still recommend getting some 16s (maybe some OEM solara ones?)

Damn I don't remember the gaping in my wheel wheels being that much. Your car looks a lot better lowered
