Alright I rub and scrape everywhere, and as soon as I took it out, a tire got a nail in it. Great. Lol.
Difference from the Lowering Springs:
And from the front:
I kinda don't want to jack the car up and remove all the parts to raise it up again, it was a bitch getting the coils into the forks as it was. -_-

Now THAT's what I'm talking about, and you should be able to adjust the height with them still attached to the forks. Lookin good though!

Haha thanks. Someone is gonna have to teach me how to adjust the height while they're on the car, I only know how to do it outside of the car.
Found out that I destroyed my fender lining.... Lol.

and heres how much I'm tucking...
Last night when I was driving it, every tiny dip or bump I can hear something in the rear passenger side. (I'm guessing its my UCA slapping against the well.)

Edit: Alright last one before I'll take a actual photoshoot.
Probably should go for West Wing lips since it'll make a crazy difference?

Great stuff, car looks MUCH better now!
You'll always go through the stage of fear initially when you go lower...but that'll all pass with time. Just have to learn how to maneuver with a lowered car and take all bumps/inclines at an angle...never head-on.
Coilover height is adjusted with them installed on the car. You just have to remove the tire. Loosen the bottom locking nut and grab the upper half of the coilover assembly and either turn it right (lower it) or left (raise it). Then re-tighten the bottom locking nut after done.
You don't have to touch the two locking nuts under the spring...those are always held constant...and just tighten them down to the point where they're resting tightly against the spring, but not compressing it.

Probably the last things I will get are new rims and probably the west wing lip and skirts. I'll just end it there and work on little things if I need it (Aka interior.)
Thanks for the feedback.
Today was the first time I scraped the whole bottom of my car off a driveway from a plaza...I need to practice more. Lol

Its either these:
These:
Or these:
Any suggestions? My stockies aren't just cutting the stance right now. Lol.
NOTE: I'm not planning to get any of these for a while, but just for future references. Only window shopping.

And you should black out the tail lights and buff them so they shine I think that would look really good on your car you can buy the tent on ebay for like 20 bucks for both sides.

Haha at the height in my picture there it was pretty much undriveable on anything short of a flat concrete slab without scraping and chewing up my fender liner. I raised it up a bit from there to give it a bit of play to help the handling. But play with your suspension a bit, eventually you'll find the spot where it's perfect for how you drive.

Damn...already picked them up. Was talking with my friends about their opinions on it and they said it would look sick, try it out since Azine was down when I was trying to check your guy's opinions, lol. Who knows, it might not be that bad. Never hurts to try, right?
Was in dire need of some new tires anyways, lol.

Well...the ride home wasn't fun, guessing I've scraped up everything under the car. Gonna raise it when I get a chance later, but this is how it looks at regular height with the F2s.
Maybe new reason for me to get a new cat back exhaust? Lol. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky again sometime around. I'll post some pictures my friends took with their DSLR when we got done mounting the tires on.

There we go. Also had an alignment done before we got the rims on, guy told me me toe on my front passenger was to the right by .15 or something like that, I was just like, "No wonder all my tires are bald but this one."
