Looks great! That is the perfect drop. Not too much where it could still pass as being factory from some automakers.

The rims are RPM 505. I took the rims off because of the rain. Been driving stock because of all the pot holes.

Still no pictures yet because of the rain

Default updated pics

Here are the pictures of the car with stock rims. There is about a 1.5 inch gap.

I understand a lot of CL members here saying that it is a waste of money going the spring route rather than the coils route but I didn't want anything too aggressive and my drive-way has a hump so most cars cant get up. My sister IS can't make it up the drive way with 3 people in the car on stock suspension. That is how bad the hump. Another reason is why spend at least $800 on coilovers when you are dropping it the same height for around half the cost.
