Simply put blocks under the tires when you are lowering it down.

Personally I think it looked better before, the whole "slammed look" just looks cheap to me.

Phil you're about the same height as me. What I did was w.e. side I wanted to jack I put 2x4 infront and drove up on em! so say passenger side front and rear tire some 2x4s drive up on those and that should give you enough room to jack it!

That's what my older brother thinks haha. It doesn't work with some cars, I'll agree with that.

Yeah it's definitely subjective, all up to what you like. For me, I just like when a cars wheels are concentric with the wheel well, makes it look more performance oriented and "classy" in my mind, like this :

I'll agree with that, but those cars stock come really low. If Phil had his car a tad lower than with the springs then it would have the same effect, however it wouldn't look very different since there would still be a lot of gap between the ground and his car, if you get what I'm saying.

Edit: After actually enlarging the pictures they look just about as high. Maybe because they're lower profile and sleeker that it looks lower!
