Raked stance?

So I had a wild thought, and thought it would be bad ass and all to do on the CSRT4.

I was thinking about dropping the front end, while leaving the rear stock. I think the CSRT4 would look so damn aggresive that way.

What do you folks think?

Re: Raked stance?

i love the raked look. i'd say go for it, but don't make it too extreme. maybe only 1/2 - 3/4" difference.

Re: Raked stance?

If you can trick some dumbass into thinking that lowering only the back of his caliber would be cool, you can split the eibach kit with him and get the front springs for yourself for 100 bucks.

Re: Raked stance?

this may just be me but this car already has traction issues. increasing the room for weight transfer to the rear seems kinda counter productive imo.

everybody talked so much sht to the guy who said he wanted to go with a staggered wheel setup on a fwd. at least staggered wheels wont make traction worse.

not trying to be a dck or anything just speaking my honest opinion.

Re: Raked stance?

I think rakes look awful. I hated that the neon had a built in rake that you could not get rid of.

Re: Raked stance?

Rake is only for choppers and drag cars. Our car already has about a half inch difference between the front and rear. Much more would just not look right.
