I have a set of the new Comptech Extreme Race springs. 6" drop in the back, 5" in the front. For some reason I'm experiencing a little tire wear though? Here's a pic:

2 inches all the way around on Neuspeed Sport Springs.

To me, it looks better than the Comptech and H&R drop.
I did put a camber kit in the rear though, but still worth it!!!

i can't believe that. if you were dropped over 3" you would be tucking to the rim on those 19's, which you aren't


maybe i'm wrong, not likely though :o

Damn, I shouldve gotten those Neuspeed Sport Springs, helluva drop, looks good and cheap. Although I would be sacrificing ride quality, I would have to buy Koni Yellowss......

The pics I took were on an incline so there appeared to be more of a gap than there really is when on level ground.

I'll take pics tomorrow

EDIT:
This is from when I first got the coilovers on, I dropped about half an inch after the springs settled

Nope, I meant that I would take more pics on level ground.
I just came back from washing the car, and I guess I'm not a little over 3 inches. What is the stock hieght from fender to ground or fender to center cap?

I need a base number b/c I don't have anything to base it against.

Ohh well, I'll have to bring it down some more, can't be caught lying. :P

Thanks MattG. Your ride is pimp as hell to.

I just took a few more pics on level ground, kinda bandwidth intensive.

How much lower would you guess that is? about 2.7-2.8 inches?
