That is not on the stock front suspension... I seem to recall that the whole front end was rebuilt with a tube frame.

I didn't think mine was that low, but i have to be really careful on some driveways and even speed bumps.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1306877896.jpg

What is the measurement that is being used to characterize the ride position ( i.e. 23.5 or 24 inches)? Where is it taken?

Please measure.

I'm installing the same wheels in a while.
I'd love to know your tire sizes and brand.
Height and camber measurements if you have any.

That looks awesome.
I'd love to go that low, it fills up the fender perfectly, especially the rear.

Geronimo,

I'll check and give you the info. Here's some more shots (not the best but give you an idea). Car is parked at an incline.

It is not the front lips I'm worried about ... my rear sway bar mounts are the lowest part on the car and are only 3" off the pavement... sry no pic o current car. I'm running 22/29 bars currently. I may have to raise it a little :p

Anything less than 23 inches from center fender lip to ground will be too low for the street - especially if measured on the front. For a rake of 1 degree, the front lip usually measures 1/2 inch higher than the rear.

For the track you want the center of gravity as low as possible. It makes a big difference. For the street, it's not worth it.

Damn! I thought mine was low, but they do look sweet
