Default Pro-Kit Installed - '07 GT/CS

After having the new wheels installed last week, I couldn't wait to have it lowered. The springs, adj. panhard, and camber bolts were installed a couple of days ago, but it's been raining for the last couple of days.

Since today was the first day without rain in a while, it was a perfect time to have her detailed for some new pictures post-drop.

Overall, I'm super happy with the 1.5" drop and how the stance came out.

Looks great. That first picture creates this weird optical illusion to me and it makes your car look like its 40 feet long or something...idk how to explain it.

That really looks great! That's what's next on my list, and I hope it turns out as good as yours did!

That's awesome! You're gonna love it! I know I do. In addition to a great looking stance, the handling is WAY better than stock.

I had the adj. panhard installed at the same time since it was recommended, especially with the wider wheels/tires in the back. Any off-centering would be super apparent. The installer said it was a good thing since the rear was slightly to one side pre-alignment.

I actually debated between the Tokico D-Spec and the HP series. I ended up going with the HP series since they were almost $200 cheaper in all, and I did't feel I needed the ability to adjust the damping.

Be sure to post pictures after you get everything installed!
