Looks sick bro. Being that low does come with the consequences of ridin kinda terrible lol. Get some all black 20's or 19's on there and stand back......
I had all black 20s. Didn't like it. Pictures came out like crap. Doesn't look as low because the wheel has no contrast to the fender...it all kinda blends. I almost want some gunmetal wheels next. Or at the very least black chrome. When these broze ones are clean, I think it looks mean in person. As with everything, pics usually don't do cars justice.

Looks great. I should be going this route.
Should or am??
Hey guys, I was looking at my car this morning and I think I need to lower the rear some....can I get some opinions?

The rear looks fine. Just get some higher profile tires to put some meat on the rim and help tuck it.

I had BC Racing on my SRT-4, great coilovers were better than the K&Ws I had.

the rake is fine, anymore and I think you'll throw the balance off. I dont think our tires are supposed to "tuck". lol

Tucking looked weird. I did it and quickly put it back

DRock that is way too low for my tastes, but generally looks good. Way better than the 4x4 ride height on the latest stangs.
I will be invading Oahu this weekend, I will keep an eye out for your car if you are on that island...

Same except I have killed myself before owning an SRT-4.
My only problem with the KW's was that the shocks kept blowing...I sent them back to KW for warranty work 3 times in 5 months.
So after a few hundred miles on these coilovers, I can say that they HAVE softened up a bit. Not as harsh of a ride as first install. The front is still a little low but I'm learning to navigate the roads and have yet to get stuck anywhere.... There is a rather loud clunking noise in the rear end of the car at slow speeds over rough roads that almost sounds like something is loose...I checked everything and cant find a loose bolt or nut anywhere...

This may sound dumb but, is the spring seated correctly and preloaded?

What might be happening is that the spring isn't preloaded. That means, when the suspension is not loaded (wheels off the ground), the spring is loose.
Easiest way to find out is jack up your rear end off the ground and then get under the car and see if the springs are nice and tight. A correct preload (without affecting suspension and handling in awkward ways) should be tight to where you can just barely rotate the spring in its seat. If you can't rotate it at all with your hands, that's too much preload. If you can move it a lot, then that might be your issue, especially if you can move it up and down the shock.

With the rotating spring seats, same way you adjust height really.
