Could always just leave the front isos out when installing a normal set of springs. Supersports drop the front a touch more than the rear too which give a pretty nice look imo.

IMO the only way to achieve a "raked look" is with a "drag" setup. Where you have a big tire on the back and smaller on the front. When you have the same size wheels and tires all the way around and try and do it via springs/iso's, it just looks weird. You end up having a huge (ie 17"/18") wheel gap in the back and the tires are tucked up front. Our cars have kindof a natural rake in their design.

Heres my rake...subtle with the springs, but like Steve-Oh said...our cars have natural body lines that rake. It also depends on the wheel/tire size...heres my car with H&R Supersports and 4 different wheel/tire combos. (I have more, but I'll only post 4 :tongue3:)

Hard to tell in this pic but my ass end of the new car sits around an inch higher then the front.

hey Steve-Oh you still have the pic of your car at the stop light? I think that shows a great stance.

JB you're crazy, Saleens ftw though.
