for another ABP / RBP member!

That drop looks great! I'm assuming your on stock struts? Good luck finding an A-Spec kit for your color though since I'm almost positive it's discontinued.

thanks guys i hope my car turns out half as good as most of your cars on here, and yep stock struts but the fronts are brand new cause the bolt that holds on the top hat was siezed on so i had to drill one out and the other broke off at the threads, and thats terrible looks like it will have to go to paint

Ack may be able to find you a kit, but if you do have to paint, check out the Black Market for used A-Spec kits (pretty rare they pop up, but you might get lucky )

The more I look at your drop, the more I'm reconsidering getting Tein S-Tech springs and instead opting for the H&R RS. Drop some spacers on the rear and the look is golden!

The drop looks great! It makes me sad though because I bought the ISC coilovers and your as low as I am.
