Well it looks great so far.
Once you get your L-tuned spring and shocks installed, that will make a considerable difference. Although, you could just get coilovers!

hahaha great, so i take it it looks like a 4x4
i just noticed it too, great, so the 1inch drop wont make a difference i gues then, right,
well these are 17x8,
what if i changed the rims to 18x8 this style what do you think, i posted abou this rim before but what opinion do you have incomparison to these rims,
i was thinking that these rims are OE and dont need to worry about hub centrics, and center bor problems, etc...
but here is the other rim
18x8

Why didn't you go for the chrome wheels, same style, instead of the painted wheels. Are these wheels good quality, because the price is awfully low?

It looks good man. I don't think it looks 4x4. Your tires are same diameter as stock, so it's no higher than stock. Even if you had already dropped it 2 inches, half the people would still post and say it needed to be lowered.
I like the chromes a little more I think too.

i didnt want the Chromies because they are not touring style, i like chrome but with a lip, plus i saw the same style rims on a difernt car and i didnt like the chrome . so i went with the painted.
i know these 17's look small but just wanted a OE rim to keep it simple yet sporty, i got 245/45/17's on here but they feel like they are maybe like a 245/60/17 cause they feel very soft, i want to change them back to 235/45/17, it think it will be a stiffer ride, so ... i dunno, what to do here, for one I have to SLAM it like crazy, but i actualy use it to cary more than 1 person around, i cary like 4-5 people some times too when we go out with friends, so if i slam it it will be hard to drive,
I DUNNO WHAT TO DO
if i were to drop it, what type of springs or strut combo should i get
