Default Lowered + Photo shoot (Pic heavy)

Finally lowered it! I used Eibach Pro-Kit springs with Tokico Shocks and Struts. I did the install myself and only ran into 2 small issues. First, I dropped the strut mount and broke it so I had to order new ones. Second, after the install I had a clunking noise coming from the struts, after some reading on here it was a simple fix, just had to tighten the bolt on top of the strut. I love the new look and the feel of the car. Finally went out yesterday and took some pictures. Here are some before/after pictures and some random shots are town.

Nice job! Looks good... low and mean! How much of a drop did those springs give you?

Looks great! Love the wheels with that drop, usually not a fan of chrome but it works on your car.

You should consider a chin spoiler or maybe a front bumper swap sometime in the future, would really bring your car together.
