Now lowered with 20% /// 56k nope

Big thanks to bhulburt for the springs. Recently lowered on h&r sports and 20% tint. Front seems to sit a tad higher (all depending on parking angles). Still not sure why.. Also got some new 235/40 Yoko ws1's last week, but these pictures are before that. I'll get some pics up with those on sometime next week.

Before:

To the OP, what exactly did you use to get this drop?

I have the same car and want that exact same drop.

Let me know!

Looks decent, I picked up some used H&R Springs last week model #51858, is this the same ones you have?. Hopefully the height will be good enough to help keep the front of my car down at the track when I launch to get my 60fts lower.

It's not the springs that'll help you it's shocks. If you get some adjustables like Tokico Illumina's and set them stiffer in the rear that'll keep the front from rising so high.

Nice tint AnthraciteTypeS. I have the same color but think I'll go with 35% cuz my guy just pulled over the other day for having 20% tint. He got off with a warning but still...

H&R Sports. Yea the 20% may be a little overboard but looks awesome. Awkwardly enough, I got pulled over at 1:30am a few nights ago for the tints/taking a turn too fast. He let me off with a warning though as I told him I bought the car like that so I had no idea if they were legal.

That's what I was thinking.

Why would you rather not say, op? That's a little weird.

It's an auto guys. That's why i'd rather not say haha. Just a daily though- I'm about done with it, aside from maybe some headers.

I think the front is higher because you are still on the stock shocks. They are that length to match the length of the stock springs. When you get new shocks the car will sit lower and will ride better without bounce. Adjustable height units would be the best for you if you can swing it.
