The day after the drop
Finally, my car is dropped. The H&R sports drop is about perfect, even on stock rims 
The car looks so much more balanced now. There are less roll, swat, and lift. I've about 1.5 finger gaps front and 1 finger gap at the back. The ride is almost the same as stock. I didn't take any before or after pics as I forgot my camera on the install day 
But I've posted some pics on the gallery section

In case you want to see some before and after comparison...

If I buy the springs from states, the shipping and custom will jack up the price, may end up being more expensive than to have the shop order them for meTatewaki

I'll get an alignment next weekend for the springs to settle. My rear camber is off for sure, but don't know how much. Not very noticeable though. I don't think I'll need a camber kit. Without then it'd actually run my stock tires out, give me an excuse to get 225/50/16. Then I'll get camber kit
the best price i've found for a rear camber kit has been $179 US w/shipping.
can anyone beat that?
