Maybe its just me...but I like the look of a black Ef on steelies (maybe because thats how i roll in the winter). My car is slammed and tucked right now too, but I need to change fast, the roads here in wisconsin take a beating, and then give one to my car. At the end of june Im throwing in some Tein coilovers, and a camber kit. Should make things a tad nicer. Btw your car looks super clean! Black Ef's (ED's ...what ever) rule!!

Its probably not even riding on the springs...but the struts itself...it it really rough?

i'd have to agree with 91hatch.. it's possible that the struts are taking in all of the impact and the springs aren't even compressed enough to do any true work for the suspension.

but the car does look good.

nope.. that is incorrect.. my car is sitting on the struts right now and it is slammed like a ****.. it is sitting on the springs.. no doubt about it.. it can go about another inch and a half in the rear if you take out the struts and like half an inch up front..

Yeah it definatly has room to go in the back compared to the front. I'd have to say its very rough when driving. But the front does look lower when you see it it person I think
