Finally pics of my car with B&G springs

I like the drop a lot. Not as low as intrax and sprint, but they ride good too. Was a 3 finger gap front and back but have settled now to less than 3.

what size rims do you have? whats the profile?

i have 235/45/17 in the rear and 235/40/17 in the front and i was wondering if the drop is going to be less dramatic cuz i have lower pro tires. but then again i have 17's...man i should just shut up and get mine installed.

Wow you have 245 tires on 16x7.5? How does it look? Do the side walls stick out alot? I have 16x7.5 too but running 225/55/16 and the sidewalls are almost flush with outer edge of the rims...just stick out a bit that's all.

Also how long ago did you install the springs...you have to take in consideration that they might have not completely settled...but either way still looks nice...can't wait to get mine on..

once you install the KYB, your car will actually be a lil higher than what it is now. My car got higher when i installed the tok's on my h&R's. P!ssed me off big time, now im considering suspension tech springs or B&G for a lower drop. I still have people ask if im lowered and im like YES WTF man
