Default Tuck the wheels?

This post is for Andrew and anyone else whose had experienced lowering their xfire. I want to lower mine, however from the few people I've seen do it, honestly I don't think it looks that much different from stock.. 1.5" lower isn't a lot.. (my last car was lowered 1.3 but the wheel gap was bigger to start with and I got larger wheels too) I'd like to go even lower and get the rear wheels to tuck, and maybe the top of the front wheel, if this is even at all possible.

Has anyone seen lowering kits that go lower than what we've seen people do thus far?

NJSPEED69...

Lowered mine with the typical Eibach Pro-Kit and Koni Sport dampers... But be careful if you drive your car on more than just the streets and highways... The front tires will rub the wheelwells on hard turns at speed through canyons or on the racetrack...

I did my suspension for track performance and am still trying to tweek it so I don't have the rub... I may open-up part of the interior wheelwell instead of adding wedges, because I'm really happy with the stiffer suspension, but not the rub

mine may be closer to a 2 inch drop. the gap before lowering drives me nuts. i can measure it if you wish.
