Default Lower springs

Does anyone have a before and after picture of their car not lowered and lowered? just curious to see the difference between the two.

Additionally, to anyone who has lowered their car with the f-sport springs or any springs for that matter, how much has it affected the ride?

F sport on AWD. I can't tell which contributed to the ride discomfort more, the thinner tires or the drop lol, got used to it after a while now and would not have it any other way... cept maybe go lower a bit more (note: the tire diameter are the same, just thinner tire walls- basically my before pic's wheels are the same size as my after pic)

Before



After

That thread is very helpful.

It is expensive. Ouch.

unless you're in CAnada, i'm going to assume you're in CAlifornia, and thus even if you don't ask the dealership to do the install you should have plenty of speed shops in your area. go to the most competent/highly recommended one, and you should be good to go.

Just curious, how much of a drop will the car have compared to the sport springs? I keep hearing 1 inch but I'm guessing thats with the lux to f sport.
