Moar low is needed.

Other than that, I dig the new look.

Just cut down on the wheel gap and awesome. New wheels loom good.

Doesn't have to be slammed, although that would look great.

You can go surprisingly low before you have to worry about hitting stuff on the road.

See my problem is, if i lower it, i am going to want to redo the entire suspension.

Is there a safe/efficient way to dropping the car just an inch or so? Maybe just springs?

I don't want to chop the thing up - trying to do things correctly.

ideas?

EDIT: Nick, your signature - the tree, is a *****. your licence plate "wuvs" ***** too?

I rocked Neuspeed Race springs paired with Bilstein Sport shocks on my B5--gave it a nice 1-1.25" drop (previously non-sport OEM suspension) while still riding comfortably and easily getting over speed bumps and the like.

B7 wheels always give B5s a nice, fresh look, as well. Nice choice.
