Pics of the car now that its lowered

I installed some H&R springs the other day.
It was a serious PITA but things are much better now.

Possibly, I picked up mine out of the back shed at PFS so they were used. I guess they are already broken in.

The car looks frickin' great man.

Nice "volk" wheels...

Seriously though, looks very nice. Did you stick with the stock shocks or do you have aftermarket?

LOL, Yea I used the stock shocks. The boots were all torn and shot to hell though. I'm not concerned though until they start acting up. Other than that it seems to be a really comfy ride.

You running 45 or 40 series tires?
Looks like about 1" lower than stock, maybe slightly more in the back. Did you measure your total drop? If so, was the previous set up completely stock?

PS, nice paint!

I didnt take any measurements, but it looks like it dropped about 1 1/2"
it rubbed only once so far. Going over a set of train tracks at the bottom of a hill, and i forgot to slow down. Other than that it hasnt rubbed at all.
tires are 235/40/17 front 265/45/17 rear.

Very nice

The suspension will "settle" after a few weeks (mostly in the next few days), and it'll lower ~1/4 inch more.

Nice Dave,

How do you like the handling of the car now?

When I installed my Eibach springs, it felt like a different car to me.

I gotta agree with you on that. I took it out for a while last night.
The car feels so much more predictable. I can get the *** to cut loose on demand now.

I am really happy with the springs.

Kayin, nope its the same apex'i N1 Dual that I have had for the past 3 years. I hate it, Im gonna get a PFS exhaust instead.

Yup everyone thats Innocent Blue Mica, 20p for those who want the pait code.
