At work again but here is a pic of where I'm at now. I'm not at my final ride height I will wait for the springs to settle before I go lower. I enjoy driving my car so I'm not going hella low. My goal was to eliminate the wheel gap with out damaging my tires. Not going to run stretched tires either.

BEFORE

This is pic is with the car on stock springs.

Alriiiiight. Do you plan on cambering and going lower once parts are available? What's your current drop?

Ride quality I would compare to the Eibach sportlines I previously had. It's a nice smooth ride actually. No noise from the suspension at all. Road noise is not much more than stock. Takes corners like its on rails. I'm totally satisfied. I chose to customize my spring rates and go with 10kg F &R

Are you really like the springs I can't decide if I want to drop it low with and tuck the wheels or just keep the spring drop with poking rims?

I'm on coilovers now my tires poke out a bit but they cambered when I lowered it so the tire tread is now within the wheel well. I'm satisfied with the way it looks.

Wow that is sick! I'm debating between a 5axis front lip or the seibon cf lip, and after this maybe the seibon lip more. how much did you get it for?

pls post more pics too when you get it installed!
