I agreed. OEM Kit would look really nice!

H&R Sports springs. About 2 fingers gap front and rear. I got the springs from LacViet.

Have you gotten you alignment done after you dropped the car? I was wondering, with a drop that subtle, does it affect your camber much?

Haven't done alignment yet. Camber looks ok. The drop is perfect for me, just a little bouncier than before but I like it.

I would get an alignment in about a month or so. Give the springs a chance to settle in. A lot of performance shops have told me that in the past. If your car isn't pulling hard to either side, you might be alright. If you plan on doing a ton of fast or long distance highway driving, I would get one right away to prevent excessive tire wear if your toe is really off and then get another in 2-3 months.

Oh, by the way, my alignments always come within acceptable specs, so no camber kit for me! I may get one just to make sure I am dead on and reduce the butterfly effect a little, provided I can find a good camber kit for minimal cost.

Granted I dont have a type-s or the 17's either, I dont think you need to worry about an alignment or camber kit. Ive been dropped on the same springs for about 10k miles now and they are all settled in. With that said, there is VERY MINIMAL camber in the rear and none in the front. If you have the few hundred to spend on it all and it makes you feel better go for the camber kit, but you will not seen any abnormal tire wear in the front tires, let alone the rear.

the drop looks great, man. enjoy.

Yes, stock struts with 32k miles on it. I guess it will be ok for now.
