Well miss, if you just got those springs mounted then i would expect to see them settle a bit more. Give them some time and youll be surprised at how much the drop will be.

I think it looks good and is low enough already. I sure wouldn't sacrifice performance to go lower, and the Eibach Pro kit is top-notch, so leave it alone!

Nice car, but your pics.....

What is with the Myspace angles?



Be original, and post some regular pics of that beautiful car.
Please. Those pics don't do those wheels or your drop any justice.

Also can we get some normal angle pics, I'm thinking about going eibach but your pics don't really give a good idea of the drop.

S-techs look hot but if he wants performance, he should stick with the eibachs. Alot of suspension studies have shown that anything more than a 1.5 inch drop sacrifices performance. This is due to the fact that our sunroof makes our car top heavy and if we drop the center of gravity too low it can produce even more bodyroll and the performance goes to ____e. But if he cares only about looks and lives in an area where a lowered car is not a liability then I would say go low. I care about performance, but I'm not a racer, so If I lived some where more flat with better winters I'd slammit on s-techs too. But I scrape some driveways around here with stock hieght so I will probably go with the eibach prokit, although I am tempted to try h-techs.

Everybody should know that when you post pictures of your ride with a drop, you should have a direct side shot to really show off the drop. Seriously people come on... lol... Just make sure you take pics of your ride from the side, NOT AT AN ANGLE, so we can see what it really looks like dropped... Great pics, just need to redirect them... LAter.
