Default dropped on JIC's and work

I posted some pics of my new work's about a month ago..finally got my JIC's and dropped it...here's some pics from a group drive to Mt Baker in the Seattle area.



specs:
-2.5" drop front/rear
-JIC-2 coilovers
-Work Emotion CR Kai 18X9.5 +20 gunmetal
-BFG KDW NT’s, front: 245/35/18, rear 275/35/18
-fenders not rolled/modified
-they've only rubbed a few times on the wheel well plastic (on ver yhard cornering)
-any decent size speed bumps are a no-no (found that out the first day I was dropped)
-haven't corrected the camber yet...that's a project install over the winter.

and now the pics:







pics before drop:



**I've also had my track wheel set up on this for an autoX last week...no rubbing with this set-up.
-Enkei RPF-01 17X8.5 +22mm w/ F: 255/40/17, R: 275/40/17 Toyo RA-1's

it's 'blue batmobile's' overlays...up close they're not perfect - I'm going to redo them this winter (either same overlays or paint).

Curious, how much would you have to raise your coil overs to have no rubbing? BTW your car looks sweet man, nice setup.

-it's Mt. Baker about 3 hrs north of Seattle, Wa.
-since installing the coilovers, I've only rubbed once or twice...I wouldn't raise the car b/c of rubbing issues. But the car does bottom out on speed bumps - I'm planning to raise it about 1/2" (this is my daily driver and it's just too impractical to make a U-trun at every speed bump)

Let me tell you, the pics do not even do Peter's car justice! His car just looks flat out mean driving down the street, so low and so black! I love it. That's my red Z in the pics, lowered on the Hotchkis springs, and the stance looks like that of an SRT-4 compared to Peter's! I'm going to have to work on that.....

thanks Steve! I think ours cars looked good together ~ I never understood why so many liked VOLKS rims until I saw your wheels...looks really clean. Hopefully we'll have another group drive next year when it stops raining. (by then, you'll be lowered even more and I'll have my sound system installed)
