The drop with h&r springs is so minimal could it affect the angle of the light beam?

I've yet to hear of anyone here adjusting their headlights after any drop.

I readjusted mine months after my drop. It really wasn't due to the drop. I just wanted them slightly higher.

I adjusted them after installing my Maxspeeds. Partly cause of the drop and like wazzzzuup said because I wanted them as high as possible (without others thinking I had my high beams on)

Wow, I cant believe you guys never noticed a difference after being lowered. I could tell right away that the beam was lower.

I have about a 2.5-3" drop on my D2's and I have been contemplating adjusting them up a bit. I did notice a SLIGHT difference, they did not seem to throw light as far down the road after the drop.

yup, i adjusted a few weeks after the drop. i wanted them higher to begin with, and drop just gave me a better reason to do it. they were about 2.5" off at 25 feet.

After I installed my coilovers I had a significant drop in my headlights I have yet had time to adjust them. I am also going to adjust my fogs so they point up more.
