any idea how well the specs fall in after an alignment (with f-sport springs/shocks)?

IMO, it looks pretty good with 19" wheels. I don't think switching to h&r's will make that much of a difference in the front.

Beautiful cars, guys. That's exactly what I was looking for - good side shots. Thanks much for posting these pics.

Now I wonder if there will be any difference with gaps on an AWD car, but I guess I will have to just wait and see...

You have to do H&R or S-Techs to make any difference on the AWD. The AWD sits considerably higher than RWDs.

i'll let u know once mine is on, if anything i would think the drop would be the same as an RWD drop to the suspension is pretty much the same except for the shocks and springs and how their connected to the lower control arm.

Thanks. Too much glare on the car. I need to go on a nice overcast day or at sunset.
