U should go lower. The front still to high. When theres no finger gaps in the front n rear then the car looks nice.

are you sure that's a 2in. drop? i had megan racing springs that were 2 inches and they were way lower.

i'm on H&R sports right now and that's 1.75F 1.5R and it even seems lower.

that is NOT a 2" drop.

more like 1... you possibly recieved the wrong springs.

this is what 2" looks like.

pretty bad angle to show your car is lowered...

and you should have just saved up for coilovers instead of those wheels.....

Tinted the headlights is a horrible look. Blacked out headlights is the way to go. Just use the tint for the tail lights
