Damn watch out for redcivic he may be on the war path and call your friends car rice.

The 8 looks much nicer now that she's lowered.

its the Espelirs from AutoRnd...these pics are from 30 minutes after they were installed and im sure there will be more settling (i am liking this slammed look and the ride feels just like stock with hardly any body roll now)

not worried about a d00d who lives in a town that is proud of oompah music (dustball)...but thanks for the props...and the M3 is riced...he has 2 stickers and bigger heavier wheels

that's only a 30 mm rear drop too. all that junk in the trunk sat it down like crazy. what you gotta do is check it out when you have two people in the back seat as well. haha.

whoohoo ur low now....................

yes the springs will settle, not a whole lot tho.. but lil bit (ive only had my car lowered about 3 times in past err 3 months with 3 different types of springs hahaha)

I guess it depends on the spring rates you got. probably very similar to stock if ur not feeling the bumpyness

Thanks for the pics and info. Chrism. I also picked up the Espelir springs from AutoRND and am getting them put on Tuesday. Good to see they look sweet and perform too!

Edit: Whoops! wrong guy with black hood. LoL Changing the name to protect the stupid. (me)
