I hate to say it but those wheels just don't look right. Either the wheels are too big or the car is too low. IMHO

Looks bizarre and aggressive, I like it. Super low like a show car that's not for street duty. Only 300 miles, a good long afternoon drive. Maybe all you could stand with no name coilovers and dropped to rest on the bump stops. A totally rigid ride and unable to do an alignment without additional adjustable suspension links, I'll bet. The negative camber looks like it would wear the inside edge of the tires to the cord in a thousand or two miles. GLWTS.

Actually rode great. I wouldn't call stance a no name, but definitely not ohlins like on my evo. I can't believe some of you think the car is too low. It's at cup car height, still looked high to me. I have had FC and FF cars with 1" ride heights so maybe that is why everything I see looks like a 4x4. lol

The low miles is do to having way too many cars, spec miata, evo, 240sx, 540i, 996, and two motorcycles. That plus I installed everything right before the winter, and we had a brutal winter this year.

Love the car, but spec miata is way more fun, and would rather have the money for race tires.

It does look a bit "slammed" to me. Maybe the wheels are larger diameter than stock and make it look lower than cup car height?
