I think it looks better. It no longer looks like a porn start, I can see behind me and it handles better from what I can tell.

Although it looks better (imo) with the rake, I fully agree with you that I would take it lowered with better handling and better visibility. No question about that.

Looks MUCH better. 5/16 rake is alright. Several inches is not.

Now mind you, mine was rasied. This is stock.

Considering the wheels painted satin black.

Yay or Nay?

Did they just rip the spacer out or put new springs in too?

Springs are factory and quite new, as there's very little sag in them, no more than 1/4". The spacers were taken out.

Luckeyyyy haha

With a full tank my rear sags about 1 and a quarter inches.

That's not sag, bro, that's Cali lean!

I'd vote yes on the black wheels. However, if you do that, it would be necessary for you to tint your head and tail lights as well. You already have the tint for your windows. Black-out GTO!

Normally I dislike painted stock wheels, but assuming they're painted skillfully they could look good on a black car.

Nay. I like black wheels and I like black cars, but too much of one color is Teh Cheese. Played out. (Insert Keyboard Cat reference here.)

I personally don't like black cars on black wheels. Its never looked right to me. Maybe because it has been done wrong here every time and all I see are crappy jobs.

The picture above is not representative of what I want to do since he's got a silver lip on that wheel. Chrome/polished/silver lips on black wheels really have been played out.
