Default JDM Converted, 1.5 inch drop

Still on the lookout...

I wanted to know what a JDM converted R would look like at stock height vs. dropped 1.5 inches... look that much better?

Try the Appearance/Cosmetic forum.

All JDM front end Integras look similar, so you'd get better results there.

I rarely scrape and mine is pretty low. But if you count cones I scrape all the time

Did you meausre the height if the car before and after the drop? The Spoon springs look like the drop the ITR more than "one inch." I still love the drop though. It looks perfect to me.
