Updated pics of the drop...no 56K

The car has came a long way since i bought the car a couple years ago. I only have one before picture of the car which is...




Current mods I have on the car:

- OEM Lip kit
- TL-S wheels/Falken Ziex 512
- RB Rotors/Hawk pads
- Tein H Tech
- KYB GR-2 shocks
- 02-03 red/clear tail lights
- K&N air filter (might run a custom pipe from stock air box to the front bumper)

I have a few more mods in mind...but gotta start saving up for it since being a broke college student sucks

Lots of time and money spent on the car and this is what it looks like...I'll take some better pictures later

Kit and drop looks nice. Get some 3A tips if you aren't going to get a full exhaust. They really clean up the rear of the car. Debadge will also be very subtle and cleans it up even more and looks nice if you are into that. How much is the drop?

^^ The drop is 1.5" front and 1" in the back. As for finger lengths...3 finger in the front and 2 in the back. Still waiting for the springs to settle and hopefully it'll be a little bit more lower. As for the exhaust...i'm looking to get the ApexI WS but need to save up for that.

Don't really want too much of a drop. Just something that eliminate some of the wheel gap. Who knows...i might go lower next time with coilovers or H&R Sport springs. For the meantime it'll do..

That's the exact drop I want for my car. Any issues with bottoming out? I HATE scraping, which is why I don't want to go very low.

I scraped today I underestimated how steep the curb was and thought i could make it. It's only a minor scrape and it's underneath the front lip so u can't tell. For the most parts there's a pretty decent amount of clearance, so no scraping unless you go down somewhere or something really steep.

Looks good. Get some 3a tips and try getting some coilovers for a more aggressive drop.

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Do you know where I can get a good price for these? I looked in the BlackMarket but I didn't find this particular setup.

^^ haha... I bought mine from ebay a year ago off of "QUALIFIED JAPANESE PARTS" for 167 shipped i think. The prices has gone up since then. I think you should search around for some prices and compare it. You should try talking to our vendors and see what kinda deals they'll give you.

The ride quailty is close to stock but a bit stiffer. I think it's a perfect ride quality for everyday driving. Plus no nose diving with braking...
