Height Opinion! Go lower?

Hey guys,

I'm pondering wether I should get my X lowered further than it is. I recently had the rears rolled so I don't think I'll have any issues with rubbing if I go lower.

Whats everyones opinion stick to this height or would it look better lower

Your current height looks nice. What springs/shocks are you running now? I personally wouldn't go any lower out of fear of sacrificing ride quality.

Running Cusco Zero 3S.

Running 30's tire wise and stiff coils.. ride quality doesn't bother me

+1 for the height (looks great) any lower you may be scraping on something. I may go the same height when I get my coilovers

I wouldn't go any lower. If anything, I would get more offset, beefier tires and you get a more flushed look. But that is just me :P

Your Evo is just fine the way it is.

If you're bored with it and feel the need for a change, make it go faster instead.

Looks perfect the way it is - remember the Evo is a functional performance car that needs proper suspension travel. Leave the "StancexFlushxHypebeast" look for the guys and cars that are all show with no go.
