BIU,
I'll be posting before and after pics plus some install thoughts probably next week some time. I think VividRacing is going to have them on their website as well. I'll definately let everyone know how they work out.

thankyou guys
when you guys have a chance show us some pixs
and what you think of it vs stock
mikeb you car looks awesome
rims make the car look clean and simple.
only thing i kind of notice is the front i think could be .5-inch more lower but car looks great.
anymore pixs guys ?

Heh, your car looks pretty much like how mine would look if only I were a little less stingy with my $$$ at the moment. Except I would go with the MS side skirts and mirrors (has anyone installed the MS mirrors yet, or are they not out?).
Psst, Mike--time for a change:
:D
EDIT: I had to compress the file big time to fit within avatar guidelines. There's always a plain non-animated pic I guess:

I will take pics of mine. I got the Tein S-tech springs and love them they lower the front more than the rear and it looks awesome. I also got Volks in 19's with the Greddy exhaust. It is raining here and I work until Tuesday night so on Wednesday I will take some pics. The ride to me is the same with the teins and not harsh at all. I would compare them real close to stock. Thanks

GF210's
These pix turned out better than mine would on a black car. My GF210 drop looks identical. The rear is perfect but the front could use another .5-.75 inch drop. From what i've seen so far the only way to do this would be by using Coilovers.

Thanks for the comments on the pics
The rear is about .5" lower than the front, I probably could fix this by putting a bit more preload on the front suspension before tightening the upper control arm bolts

Hey Mikeb,
What wheels are those. I love the deep dish. Also, what size are they. You have the Eibach springs right?
