Thanks! Would like to do cai' s and a cat back but I'd like to figure out the suspension first lol. Hard to tell from the pics but it's lowered and I don t know how they did it yet. I got a put it on a hoist to find out I just hope the ride height is adjustable. I don't really see the point to lowering a g anyway or am I missing something?

Odds are the previous owner had a set of aftermarket wheels with an offset that worked well with the drop, but put the duckfeet back on the car for resale or trade-in.

Honestly, those 18" sport rims would look pretty good dropped with a set of 20mm spacers. I'm not kidding.

hmm spacers you say... i will def look into these! Do you have any recommendations on 20mm spacers for our cars?

Previous owner had another set of 18s that were close to the oem's with summer tires that were shot. i opted to just take the oem rims with good winter tires on them.
The fact that i cant go over speed bumps without scraping is annoying haha. id almost like to put it back to factory ride height. but i will find out in the next couple days how it is lowered and go from there.

Thanks!

Pretty much any 20mm set of spacer adapters would work fine. Very easy install. There are FS threads all the time, here's one:

Thanks man i will check that out.

Turns out the G is sitting on "eibach" springs ( pardon my spelling ) so theres no adjustment that i can see to be done unless i want to put stock springs back in.

New tires on order for the 18in sport rims. went with a 245/45 r18 Hercules Raptis rt5 set. cant wait to get them on and these winters off lol
