oh yeah, that kit will settle probably another 1/4-3/4inch in the next week or two, so hold off on getting an alignment

Hey pure! I'm wondering why I'm not getting as much fuel mileage now as when I was riding stock height with the 20's on. Before was avg.19-20. Now that's lowered I'm only getting 16-17.any thoughts?

no idea. ride height has nothing to do with the economy.

That's wht I thought. I think when I installed the new pads and rotors I might have tightened the foot brake to much and it's dragging. But then again it rolls freely when I release it. Maybe I'll just check it again. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks 2turbo. The car settled and it sits just below the tires. I wanted to go a bit lower. Maybe swap out springs? Any springs lower than the eibach? Pure ur thoughts? I'll take newer pics when the sun comes out we've been hammered with rain.

I'ved been driving the car around for some weeks now with the lowered suspension and I must say that it really still feels comfortable, not to bouncy even with the low profile tires. But I will be missng her soon coz she's gonna get a fresh coat of paint, in the mean time I was considering getting just a frnt lip but didn't know how that would look. If anyone has pics pls. post. Could anyone suggest a good place to buy from or any member selling theirs. My plans are to keep it clean and simple, got the wheels, lowered, getting the paint soon, got window visors coming from Baka_t. Exhaust will be next after paint and maybe some curtains. Anymore thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
