I like the color combo, different but good. Obviously it needs a drop, you should lose the fender trim too.

Looks pretty good, goldies on glacier blue

fyi, you don't have to shrink those pics quite as much as you did. I noticed the size is around 50kb each. I'd save them between 300kb and 500kb to get avoid the poor quality.

trust me it does not rub...

still a 2 finger gap with stockies...

so your 18's won't close the gap that much...

h-tech is not enough of a drop in my opinion

it's either s-techs, or coilovers

I've had my s-techs for about half year now...I think...or less, it's already getting a little bouncy...

but definitely won't rub...

disclaimer:

if it rubs...I didn't tell u nothin'!!

haha

it's really a mild drop in my opinion, but looks just right...
and just do a search for s-tech, you'll see that it's not a big drop at all, but tasteful, in my mind...

I think many times people are too concerned about how low the car looks when it's parked...(the only view they really get to see)
but I just changed my tires to 215/45/17, and supposedly it's a smaller perimeter, and the gap increased by a little bit...

but as I watched the car drive out by the tire technician, it looked PERFECT...
because when you count in the suspension action as the car rides, it looks like the perfect drop...

you'll like it
