The ride is not bad at all actually compared to how low it is. The closest i can compare it to is the either the Tein S Tech's with AGX's setting 2front and 5 rear, but the Tein Coilovers are just a little more stiff. Not as stiff as i thought it would be. Ive been in Stiffer rides before. either way......

For those who think my car is too slow......i dont care, i think it looks sweet as hell, and i get mad compliments from everyone!

There's no such thing as too low. Well actually there is, but your car isn't too low it looks perfect.

thats a sick drop man. Does that kit come it the in-cabin setting controls? I've seen that in some magazines I think it would be sweet being able to adjust your shocks from inside the car
Any way thats a nice drop. Its not too low its just perfect

I say the lower the better as far as looks are concerned. once it starts to harm driveability and handleing its not good but it looks like your just right.

the stance is great

actually they dont. i wish they did. these are just the basic dampers. the flex is the one that has the incabing adjustability from the inside with the edfc.

Glad you corrected yourself. I raised mine up a whole 1" after rubbing both the outer fenderwalls and tearing up the inner splashshields

Pete, love that color and those rims compliment it well.

They are height-adjustable, but are they damp-adjustable too?
How much were they? Looks tight.
