Default pics of my freshly lowered R

Excuse the cleanliness of the car! hehe! I'm using H&R sports, 1.5" front drop, 1.3" back drop. I am using Bilstein shocks. Its a little lower than what I wanted,but the ride is GREAT!!

uhh yes you can, there are many coilover systems out there that are far better than a stock ITR suspension...

Thats true the stock susp. on the R is good. But after I lowered it, it only got better. There are quite of few guys in the ITR forum who have altered their suspension, be it big ballahs with the Zeal susp. to just high quality lowering springs, and they'll tell you that they only improved on a good thing.

hahaha. Thats like saying why get a body kit. Its a waste of an already magnificent bumper.

He was obviously not trying to ruin his suspension by getting some apc coilovers or something.
