lowered on Eibachs & KYBS

Finally got around to lowering my max this weekend and it was a lot easier than i expected(thanks to the writeup), only took about 4hrs with basic hand tools and a strut spring compressor. Hands down best mod by far the ride is a little harsh but the handling is superb.

Nice drop... my logic says do all your suspension mods first, then get your wheels. That way it will be easier for you you to manuever around those potholes with the rubber banded 20's!

Looks really good. If I get to this point, I will do the same.
I wonder what happened to your "Before" pictures.

Nyce bro, welcome to the eibach club. Wait till they settle, thats when you will really see the drop and feel the enhanced handling.
