What you don't see is that the right front tire is off the ground because it's sitting on the cat (catalytic converter not animal).
Come to think of it, a crushed cat (meow) would do the same.LOL Good on the photo.

It is a shame that Eibach doesn't make a kit like that! I saw a camaro lowered like that in a mall parking lot. It really looks bad in person. Then again there were tv's in the car so that person was obviously not into going fast! The exterior was beat to crap too.

I think it looks really sweet lowered....in the first pic (w/ the 16's)

I'm not a fan of slamming, but if it were an airbag set-up...you could slam it when you park or something. I like it*surprisingly*

Pretty soon my car should have a stance like that. Ground Control weight jack kit front and rear on 18" boyds. I will only slam it for shows and stuff though. For daily driving I like a 1.6" drop front and rear.

I'll post some pics of my car soon, I have a set of fast bags on my car. It's a 91'z-28. When you slam it down it does sit on the exhuast but obviosly I don't drive it like that. Also it does not sit perfectly level, that back end seems to sit a little lower, but the ground effects are laying on the ground. as for doing an alignment, u just get it done when the cars at it's ride height that you'll drive it at. But the fast bags are fun, can bounce it around like hydro's if you want, rides as smooth as a new caddy (provinding there's air in the bags!) and never hurt traction, weight, or performance! Plus it looks killers when it's slammed over the 18" KMC Stealths!
