The drop was 1.5 back and 1.75 front. The ride is a little stiffer but better than stock (I think my old shocks were worn out). I have the AGX's on 1, I'll try different settings as I ride around more.

The painted headlights dont really flow to well with everything else, but other then that it looks clean... a CTR lip would look ill

Baton Rouge has really bad roads (well all of Louisiana). Plus I'm not really into the slammed look. the headlights are JDMSh*t fake CTR's.

^^The drop looks more like that now. I took these pics right when I took the car off of the stands. It has settled some and looks good. I need to take some more pics. I also need a better camera, on my monitor its hard to distinguish the gap from the tire.

I got the springs 120 shipped and the AGX's for like 305ish shipped

the car has definitely settled since those pics. I hope this doesn't screw up the alignment I got yesterday

I remember when my digital camera used to be a good camera, these days its comparable to a camera phone

I'll try to get more recent pics

NOpe, your alignment will be fine, all they did was set the tow anyway.
The drop looks meh, but if it settled and sits lower (couldn't be much) then you get a

Thats exactly what I was saying. It's still too high. You should have gone with H&R Races.

I did alot of research (like a year... no money to buy) and these are what I decided what would be a good ballance between performance/looks/ride comfort/durability/price

I am SOOOOO satisfied. I recommend this setup to anyone. I'll post up pics for more acurate representation of the drop when i get batteries for my camera.

btw, I was getting my alignment yesterday, I started talking to the manger of the shop, and he offered me a job on the spot as a mechanic! isn't that crazy? I don't have any prior experience either. Things are crazy after Hurricane Katrina...
