'04 WDP, Stock with a Drop!
I had some Tein S-tech springs and Tokico Blues installed this morning. For those looking for a modest drop (less than an inch and a half) with a ride like the OE springs provide, then this would be a good route to go. I couldn't be more impressed. All I need now is the Progress RSB to tighten things up a bit.
Excuse my photgraphy skills (they stink)... Pictures were taken with a "blah" Fujifilm FinePix A610.
For those wondering, I'm going to stick with the OEM wheels for two reasons: 1. They look good, and 2. I'm out of money.
Anyways, enjoy, and as always, comments are welcomed and encouraged.

FUN WITH NEON!

That's sick man. I put my stockies back on yesterday and I realized how much I really do like them. Hopefully within the next 6 months or so, I'll have my car looking pretty similar to yours with the A-Spec kit and a drop.
Nicely done!

I have the identical suspension setup and good news, the springs are going to settle a little more .
Expect about 1.25 - 1.5" drop overall.

Had the alignment done today. Specs weren't as far off as I expected them to be. Got everything in recommended range with the exception of the right rear camber, which was just slightly out of spec. I don't expect much of an issue. I'm looking at new tires by next spring anyways, and then another alignment.
The ride is just a little stiffer than stock, but in a good way. I think the addition of a bigger RSB is the piece to complete the puzzle. I'm looking forward to when I'm going to have the money again to buy one.
In a nutshell, this "budget" spring/shock combo is where it's at for those looking for that moderate drop for a car that has to endure the challenges of a daily driver. However, Koni Yellows in place of the Tokico Blues would be a better option for those desiring more control over the ride and height.
I'll post more pictures in the "Got WDP" thread after the car gets cleaned up a bit this weekend.

Thanks guys.... The suspension finally settled a bit. I'll need to repost pictures after cleaning the bugs off the front bumper and mirrors. Looks a bit more aggressive.
lol Steven... I thought about that before changing my avatar. I liked how the green in the avatar pic size kind of took on the Matrix look. So I stuck with it. I do like the red neon pic, tho... I may eventually change.
