The pics here were taken less than 60 miles after the spring install. The car has settled alot in the rear over the past week. So if anyone out there is looking for damn near stock ride quality ,conservative drop , and to save thousands on tires ( litterally) over the life of your car go with the TEIN H TECH springs. I will take more pics this weekend now that the rear has settled

Damn I love the staggered look with the big fat lip in the rear. Personally I love chrome on dark colored cars. It looks great! To those who hate on chrome thats why they charge more for it. It looks better and the wheels look more exspensive, plus women and non auto enthusiasts/tuners like the bling
