Links to the three new pics are in my signature.
These are some new pics since I installed the Eibachs & Tokicos, in case anyone's wondering what a mostly stock '93 looks like with this setup.
Can't wait until I can afford some new rims.
By the way, what do you guys think of the chrome wheel-well liners? They were on the car when I bought it and I'm not sure if I want to keep 'em or not. The pin-striping is going soon (as soon as I figure out a good way of getting it off - any ideas/suggestions?)

I think
what usually happens is that it takes a couple of days for newly installed springs to settle in and lower. so it might drop some more, but maybe it's just those stock wheels and rims that make it look undropped.
and lose those chrome liners, ech.

looks nice w/ the eibachs. it will drop a little more as the springs get broken in. i'd get rid of the chrome trim also. when you get new rims/low pro tires, there will be more gap in the wheel well than with the stock rims/tire combo. that's why i switched from eibach to intrax after i got my rims/tires.

It's lower than stock by about an inch
If I had a decent "before" picture you would really be able to see the difference better.
Wow, so noone likes the chrome wheel trim at all, huh? I mean, I wasn't sure but if it's that bad then... Except, I think I'll wait to take it off until I can afford to get some of the other minor body work done because I'm afraid of what it might look like under there
plus I don't know how long they've been stuck on and taking them off might mess up the paint underneath.
Thanks for the advice guys.

I was thinking of adding a Courtesy FSTB before, but now I'm not sure if I will need it. If anyone reading this has added the fstb to the tokico/eibach setup, I'd be interested in knowing if they could tell a difference.

i really couldn't tell a difference after adding the fstb. some people feel the same way, other people say they can really feel a difference. i loved how the eibachs felt will driving on the freeway during those "gran turismo" moments...

The pin stripe
Get a heat gun or a hair dryer might work and you might want to go by walmart and pick up some goo gone. THis will help you get all the glue off of the paint so that you cant see a line if the car gets a little dusty. Ohhh and if you havent already take those ugly chrome things off like now.
