Default ***** been lowered

so now here it is lowered. i used eibach sportline springs with KYB AGX fully adjustable shocks and struts. the ride is beautiful. night and day from stock. i only drove it with the shocks on the middle setting it goes from 1 to 8, so they're all on 4. but enough of that, heres the pics. let me know what you think.

How much of a drop is that, inch-wise? That's awesome that you took comparison pics in the same location, gives a dramatic and more true "before-and-after".

NIIIICE!! I got sportlines also. LOVE IT! Car looks great with those springs. Paint your calipers and get some different style spoke rims and you'll be good to go to show off those nice rotors.

Looks good, I want to do this to my car as well, how much of a drop is that and how much did it run you, parts, install, etc.

well i didn't take a measurement inch wise on the drop. but i'd estimate about a 2 inch drop. the springs cost me about $250, and the shocks and struts were about$450. i did all the install myself thanks to a write up from this site. i only had to take the front struts to a local shop because i didn't have a spring compressor, and that cost me about $40 bucks. so it wasn't the cheapest mod but i feel it was well worth the cash.
