RMarin, lemme hear how it goes for you, dropping your ride in NYC! I want to but have been held back by the sh!tty streets NYC has to offer, the potholes etc, and the fact that my garage is uphill so that when I level out I'm afraid I'll be wiping the street with my nose every time I leave.

So far it hasn't been too bad. It really helps not having a body kit! I drive in the city so what I've been doing is just taking it easy on the road. Although I definitely do feel the bumps more. It's like I told my girlfriend, I gave up a little bit of the luxury for better handling and a nicer look!!

My car has been dropped for several months now, and I have the body kit with about 12k on the clock driving in and around Nassau County, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx and Brooklyn. My bodykit is just fine. You are more likely to damage it parking in spots than on the street, so thats where you need to be most careful. As far as driveways, etc are concerned, the part of the kit that may touch is not visible unless you are under the car. So you are safe.

Looks nice....that's what i thought at first... At the front end, you can probably fit 3 finger width between the tire and the fender, and about 2 finger width in the rear...the thing that WE (becuase i have H&R Sport Springs too) neglected is that the springs aren't settled in yet. After the springs settle in, the front will lower down to about 1.5 finger width and the rear is virtually horizontal with the fender....anyways...the car does looks better with the springs. The only thing you need now is to buy new TIRES...trust me, you will want to buy new tires.

ive had my h&r sport springs installed for about a month now and i love the look, but im still waiting for the front to settle more...the sub box in the rear has the tires actually sitting in the fender well about negative one finger....!!!

the front has about 2 fingers worth of gap
