Wanting pics from the side of lowered FD's
 
Does anybody have any PICS of FD's from the side; using different springs? All you lowered guys, post pics! Eibach, RB, H&R, M2, GC, etc.
Please note spring type and strut type (if not OEM strut).

Thanks!

I'd like to show pics of mine, but with the Eibach pro-kit and Tokico 5-ways, i STILL can't tell that my car's lower.... until i look at the scrapes on the front lip.

I can't even imagine my car being lower than stock. Especially with the 99-spec lip.

Thats why you get coilovers, then you can raise or lower your car to what ever you want. :)

Here's a pic of mine....I was at Florida Gulf Coast University photographing their new cross country team at 7am. Walking back to the car I noticed how nice the light was and snapped a few pics. I have 18" rims and Tein HA's. I'm about as low as one would ever want to go. FYI the FEED type II is a bit higher than the 99-spec front splitter with a stock nose, especially on the sides, just in front of the wheels.

Looks don't matter if it's too low. I had to replace my sway bar mounts from stupid dips!

Nice guys, I like the coilovers. Can we get any pics of the side of the car with just lowering springs on the stock strut? (Eibach, H&R, RB, etc...)

That is a sweet ride. any problems with that hood and water getting in when washing your car?

No, no problems really...only when I polish the engine bay FIRST and THEN wash the car :-) Usually I put a towel over the engine if it's clean. If not, I don't bother. We just had 5" of rain in about 3 hours last night (south Florida) and the car is fine. I "may" design a carbon fiber shield which would deflect any water onto the intercooler. Most of the water hits the IC anyway, but some hits the crank pulley. I have the rain-free vents on the sides but a little water still gets in if she's sitting and not moving. The hood is from RotaryExtreme btw...and it does come with rain free vents for all four openings. I just chose not to run the big rain free vent to allow for maximum air dissipation. A nice side is that the Crooked Willow CF airbox that I run is able to suck cool air from the right front vent with the cover removed. I'm going with a T78 and should have it installed in about a month. I may have to do something in terms of shielding the filter from the rain.

Just another little tidbit, anyone who tells you an FD is unreliable has either no experience with them or does not properly maintain them. Yes, they're high maintenance but they will last. I am fully modded, 340rwhp, sequential, and it's driven daily and has been so for over a year. I'm a photojournalist and as such, am pretty hard on the car on occasion. I'm always first at a spot news scene though :-) Just thought I'd ad that!
