I got coilovers!?! How did you do that with my car parked at work all day? JK. The stance looks perfect. Any chance you measured the drop front and rear?

Looks mean dude, good stuff!

Ordering my Coilovers today I went and measured the speed bumps at my new place yesterday and a 1" drop will give me just enough clearance without doing anything funny to get over them at an angle.

That’s not a cat that’s a LION and it was protecting us against your neighborhood thieves.

I will have to get a better measurement, but i would say it dropped about 1 1/4 in the front and about 1/2 in the rear.
