haha, well lets see. here are the main %'s. 50% is worthless, just for nice cars trying to keep the leather from the sun. 35% is good for people who want tint, but dont want to get harassed by the cops if your state has tint laws. 20% is dark enough so people cant see you sitting at a stop light, but its still not TOO dark. And 5%, thats if you dont want ANYONE to EVER see in your car. I have 35% on my car and im happy with it. Here is a pic.

I dont know the exact number they were lowered, but they are cut FRPP springs that I got used for really cheap. The FRPP springs are rated at 1.2 inches front, 1 inch rear without being cuz so im sure my car was lowered about 1.7 front, 1.5 rear I guess. Im not really sure. And by the way, I think me and acer2428 put the front left springs in different than the right so it seems a little higher.

ive got 20% all the way on all 6 windows and a 6" 2% strip on front windshield. looks sweet. at 20% it starts to be difficult to see out at night.

I have 35% on mine which was the limit at the time. If I knew our state was going to be passing a "no limit tint law," I probably would have went with 25% or something. But the 35% is fine for me.
