looks good... does it make the car difficult to drive at all though? my last two cars were lowered to the point where it was miserable/impossible to drive anywhere

^Agreed. I have Tein S-Techs and Mazdaspeed struts. Roads here suck, but I love my suspension combo.

Awesome Leesha! You have tape on the strakes holding them on? I thought it was only a screw? At least mine is. The 3M double sided tape would make them stick out a little.
