^^^ Great idea, she looks great, with the A-Spec body kit it will be HOT. Consider getting the Type-S rear lip when you get your A-Spec body kit, that way you can get some sort of quad exhaust. I wish I did at the end of Dec 08.

Good luck, ASM is awesome. BUT WDP RULES

OH its SSM, I thought it was ASM.

Get the A-Spec body kit, tint those windows, and clear those headlights=SMOKIN.

I only have stock 17's on it. Im sure if you have 3 people in the back with 19's it will rub depending on what offset the rim is. You may have to roll your fenders a bit more. im sure someone else that has experience in a drop with 19's will chime in.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but I can't seem to find any DIY for clear cornering the headlights. Where should I go?

That is actually a pretty clean drop. What struts are you running the HP's or Illuminas??
