i think he only lowered the front to avoid rubbing issues. with 18s the rear already fills up pretty nicely

i only lowered it in the front cause the rear struts wouldn't come out. i had Road Race do the install and we beat on the rear bottom strut bolts for 3hrs. we think that when it got hit the bolts got tweaked, not sure all i know is that the Road Race guys did all that they could, but we were all frusturated and if i remember right Rob called my car the "lancer from hell" i'm not sure what that meant, but it can't be good.

i found that alot of it has to do with the light, if the light is the wrong color it will make the pic look like sh**. and you have to have a tripod for night shots and you have to have the flash OFF. and take LOTS of pictures. to get 8 pics i like i will take 80-100 pics. here are some pics with crappy light.

For the job we worked for Mercedes we brought 40, 250gig harddrives with us to save the shots. Anything as reflective and curved as the skin of a car is gonna be a ***** to work on. We had 6 generators and i think 16 strobe lights (flashes) to shoot those cars. I get so exhausted working car jobs that i almost never shoot my own car. Its just too much of a pain
