Thats right. But you need to make it longer when you lower those cars. Trust me

Rudy, are the wheels not centered in the openings when you lower them excessively?

Yeah, The front wheels are too far back when you drop them down to where they look good. It has to do with the wishbone swinging in an arc. As it goes up it comes back slightly, And they were propably not centered perfectly to begin with. But they sit so high it's not so noticable.

I usually kick the front ahead one Inch. it centers the wheels just fine.
