Looks good. Whats the drop with those springs?

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

oh wow, that looks perfect. Do you rub at all? Can you still corner hard w/ out rubbing? Sit in the trunk, does it sag super hard? Can you put 200-300 lbs of people in the back?

The springs were supposed to go 1.75" down, but my guess is about 2.5".
No I haven't rubbed at all yet, but I haven't driven it like a maniac. But it survives my 340 mile trip home on freeways with a riduculus amount of potholes so I doubt it will rub in hard cornering. But I haven't gotten aftermarket shocks yet, people tell me that will lower me even more.
before I put my subs in I had over 300lbs. of people in the backseat and no rubbing, but now that I have my subbox in (80lbs) I don't think I'll try it.
But I have no complaints with the springs thus far after about 2000 miles.

Tint and clear fronts would definitely finish it off...
I agree with Ronin, you should definitely go with the clear bumper lights....

VTEChump...
Real nice ride...I don't think I can go as bold as 18" anymore. I'm thinking the conservative "17-in wrapped in 215-45's"...
As far as wheels go...I'm just gonna go to a wheel shop and try on different wheels like I try different shoes at "Footlocker", til I find the right look and fit.
