Lifting vs lowering

While everybody obsessed with lowering I think about lift front suspension on P-959 a little bit. When car is extremely lowered it looks unnatural becouse wheels contact arches and car can't steer
Of course this is not about "4x4" look :) . I want just increase clearance between top of the wheel and arch while keep ground clearance unchanged. Is it possible?

Hey whats wrong with lifting? I lifted the rear suspension on my '69 shelby gt500 and stuck on some bigger wheels and it looks pretty damn cool. Hmm, I guess it's different for muscle cars.

I agree with you. Lifting looks alright on a muscle car. Do you have pics of the '69 gt500?

You goons! :rolleyes: He doesn't want to lift it, he just wants to clear out the wheel wells so the wheels can steer.
What part are they rubbing against? Are you sure it's the wells in the way? My NSX has a crappy turn degree, but I think its because of the lower suspension arms...

Unfortunately I don't have any sort of camera, digital or otherwise.:rolleyes: And besides, I'm only an average modeller so you won't be missing much.

This is "lifted" wheel and it should look like this on real car.
Front suspension fitting isn't perfect and if it isn't corrected wheel contacts with arch

the picture still doesn't work so when the page loads just add a space at the end then press enter and it should work.
