I think it looks great... It looks like my ride height up front.. It's a nice stance for a slightly mild drop. I bet the car still rides great as well. Nice job..

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with the way they came out even though it ended up to be a bit lower than I wanted. The good news is I'm not getting any squeaks, creaks, or any other sounds. Going over speedbumps is actually quieter compared to stock now lol.

The bad news is it is pretty damn soft on the street and with the lowered height, I can feel the suspension travel quite a lot just going over speedbumps and minor road imperfections. I can only imagine what it would be like running over that unexpected pothole or ditch.

It feels awesome at WOT though - I wanna try these on the track. But if I feel it's a bit too soft, I might just cut a coil off my stockers and put those in so it sits a tad bit tigher with a slightly firmer rate.

How the heck do people drive around with fox 4cyl springs and 90/10's and no sway bar is really beyond me haha. I got around with my stock suspension and no sway bar with no problems at all but if I think these springs are a bit soft, they must really be lol

I love these brakes. They are a huge step up from the crappy autozone rotors and pads I had previously. I now have Hawk HPS pads all around. I really didn't notice much pedal difference between the stock and SS hoes in regular driving, but if you really step on the pedal, it is definitely firmer and my car stops pretty darn good now.
