Default Before and After Lowdown Pics

As most of you know, I installed a set of Mugen Sports Lowdown a few weeks ago. As a follow up, I finally got to snap some "after" pics today. As you can see, there is a slight drop to the car, but hardly noticeable. Handling has been greatly improved at the expense of ride comfort. Still, very liveable for a daily driver.

Before....




And after......

They are SSR Comps. SSR stands for Speedstar Racing. I just wanted to know if they were 15 inch or 17 inch, as I run the 15 inch and wanted to know if that's how it would look with the lowdowns on my car, i've always wanted lowdowns. Nice set-up Mang.
