Nice drop looks good. I did the same drop with the s techs the rear sat really nice but of course the front has that gap still. They are never going to match up evenly

has anybody thought of maybe using a different set of rear springs to even out the drop?

is cutting half a coil off the front an option or would nobody ever do that?

H&R is supposedly more even, but the rear isnt as low. they are also a bit more expensive.

the fogs are non-HID nokya yellow bulbs, in addition to yellow laminate covers. the DRLs and city lights are also hyper yellow to match.

here are the drls. on & off. ugh, did i hate that chrome grille. remember, they double as high beams. so your high beams are pretty useless. the good part is that you could drive around with your yellow high beams on during the day. its a real head turner.
