I recently put on ground control coilovers on my speed but I noticed that the back fenders seem to tuck the tires more than the front. So here's my question what do you guys think looks better when the wheel gap on the front and rear tires are the same but the car looks like it is dropped more in the front or have the car look even but the rear wheels are tucked more than the front. Right now I have it so that the wheel gap is the same.

The same, IMO.

Off topic, but I noticed you are running a similar setup to mine. How is the compressor surge on yours at 11psi?

Check out this thread, I don't want to hijack any longer:)

Did you have your injen before your SSQV?

no I had the ss blow off valve first. but I did notice that the gobble sound got way louder when I installed the injen. I seemed to have gotten rid of it by tightening up the screw on the blow off valve. now the gobble sound is pretty much gone and the blow off valve only makes noise when I'm boostin'.

So you no longer have the fluttering sound when you lift the throttle under low boost with the clutch still engaged either? I am starting to wonder if I got a defective valve.

no not really try tightening up the screw on the blow off valve it helped mine out alot. yours is probably to loose thats why it is making that sound. hope this helps

i set mine to be pretty much the same, i dropped the front all the way down, then just leveled out the back!! i think it looks better that way. but if i park on a level street and look real close the back is actually up higher than the front. at least that is the way is looks!

yeah me too, i think that wheel gap is much more noticeable than the car being a little lower in the front. Just wondering what everyone else thought.
