Ben i thought the same, but i looked into it... Front Lower than the Back is not "Proper/True Aerodynimics" and is Dangerous at High Speeds... The Front Lowers Itself by 1-2 CM at speed of Exices of 120 KMPH Or Higher... Thats why all Germans cars are higher in teh front than the back, because German cars are made for the AUTOBHAN where Speeds are 120 KMPH+

sorry bud but that's incorrect. and i've put my car out at 150mph before no issues whatsoever. the gap we're talking about is also so miniscule it shouldn't even matter. heck, you switching up wheels, lowering your car would have more of an impact if any on "aerodynamics"

cmon man think it thru in practical terms.

yeah, I had the rear raised about 6 mos ago over at Lucent--the negative camber in the rear was destroying the tires also. The rear is slightly higher than the front at this time.

keep the rear wing, get the front oem aero lip to balance it out. always think about proportions front to back to side. you will regret going wingless as beautiful as the c4s wingless **** is.

yeah, you're probably right. would I need to get the rocker panels as well (or just paint them to match)? How much is an OEM aero lip these days??? anybody got one in lapis blue??

polished rims with black centers look so fine against that yellow paint. i think i might like the front lip in yellow instead of black, but it still looks really cool. very nice!
