WDP Before and After drop & RIMS

Hey guys...finally decided to post some pics of my ride:

Pic 1: Stock wheels and Stock springs
Pic 2: Stock wheels and Eibach Pro-kit springs
Pic 3: 19X8.5 5Zigen Sport Engines and Eibach Pro-kit springs

Let me know what you think.....

Looks better!

Is it my eyes or do I see some major miss match with the paint?

Thanks...the ride is suprisingly really good. Just a little stiffer than stock I would say.

Pic 1: Sweet WDP TL
Pic 2: Eh, not bad, but not much of an upgrade or change for the better (if any)
Pic 3: NICE! That's one sick car right there! Even though I'm generally not a fan of BBS-style rims, those look great.

I like the way you showed the progression from stock wheels and shocks to aftermarket wheels and shocks. I'd be willing to bet you answered a lot of questions with those three pictures for people who were curious about lowering their car.

The fronts measure 25 3/4 inches right now....which is about right. Our drop should be approximately the same because your Comptech springs are exactly the same as my Eibach's. My stock shocks probably sag a bit more than your A-spec shocks.

Thanks for the kind words bretallica....that's exactly the reason why I put the 3 pics side by side. When I was shopping around and looking for pics there weren't really any side by side pics to compare......so hopefully this does help out some others!!

Probably not...I kinda like the orange reflectors. I'm still debating about the rear lip spoiler however my wife really doesn't like the look....I personally also like the clean look. Tints.....not a big fan of tints but who knows.

I think I'm pretty much done on the car for now....gotta start saving money to start a family now and to get a second car....WDP MDX maybe?

Yeah I know...but I think it's more evident in pics than it is in real life.
