Just to make sure I'm not crazy. Your car is under a massive shadow right? You're car doesn't REALLY look like that does it?

LOL you put the Sticker on your a pillar! Why would you sport a tein sticker on that car. Especially if your going to paint it, why wouldnt you wait till the car looked decent.

ewww, I like the black part but the red is like puke. Paint it flat black, then it'd look nice and clean.

I was thinking flat black but somebody told me it might look good like white or something alittle brighter.

I don't think he used the TEIN coilovers, just the springs. I could be wrong, though.

looks the same as mine, but i have intrax. i hate the fact that all spring kits leave you loking likea dragster. is there any spring kit that lowers the rear so it is at the same height as the front? i might just cut my springs cuz its really annoying to me

You could just kit coilovers and lower the rear more. The rear struts were 170 something and the front were like 100 bucks a piece. The ride is so much nicer without 130,000 mile struts.

nooooo cutting springs... it looks pretty evenly lowered to me, and on tein's site it says 1" drop front and rear, I think its just because the offset of the rear wheel makes it look like there is more gap, therefore, get different wheels.
