Question Need you opinion

Hey all as many of you may know i am working on a AE86 Levin and i want it to have a more drifter style so i swapped out the wheel and tyres for a set of gloss black volk racing rims with a chrome trim ring and i also lowered the levin. but what i would like to know is if it is too low to be a drifter and if i should place it back to semi stock ride height from proper drifter style? heres a new scanner picture.

let me know how i should go about this.

I was under the impression that he looked just a little different! Sorry I couldn't help it! I think your Levin looks just fine!

i think it looks awsome the way it is, well maybe just paint the rims semi gloss or flat black, and then u will have the ulltimate drifter

Well i guess it'll be staying at this ride height so now all i need to do is paint a coat of dullcoat over the gloss to kill the shine

I would have wanted to open the front wheel arch a bit for a car that low, so that it can steer properly. Wouldn't have done it, though, my skillz aren't that mad. Also, throw a bit of negative camber on the rear wheels, if you can, so they sit inside the wheel arch, and are little more driftesque.

Killer car though, beautiful. Love the wheels, they scream.
