What springs do you have?? It looks like it has a perfect stance!! Don't touch it. I have the Hotchkis springs and the front is slammed while the rear is still to high

Thanks guys. The pro-kit is 1-1.5 inches all around... I think on the 3rdgens it's 1.25 all around. The sportlines is 1.6-1.8, front/rear.

Ya 87rediroc, I think I'm gonna try to chop a half coil off of the rears to get a better stance.
I have heard a few times that it will help a bit.

I think it looks good, but it would look good lower too. Do you have any lower shot closer pics of the full car, i've been curious what the pro kit looks like as I probably couldnt run anything lower with the ****ty roads I have.

Personally I would go lower but you may regret if you use your car alot on the street. If you lower your car anymore the streets may not be so forgiving to your car anymore.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I can't post any pictures cause they're too big, but I'll try and get some later this week. I'm really not positive what the color is, the decoder on tgo says victory red, but the guy at the paint shop said that isn't the color of my car. He said it's flame red metallic or something like that.

How is your curb clearance? That'd be a deciding factor if it were me. I have the Intrax 2" drop and the nose clears a curb almost too tight for comfort, but it always clears and you could barely slide a sheet of paper between the car and curb. I'd love to got a tit lower but don't want to bang it up 
EDIT; BTW your car looks friggin' GREAT :rockon:

Yeah, I need to check the car on my driveway as I pull in. I think it's pretty close right now but I'm not exactly sure how much clearence there is. My driveway is the only place I'm really worried about scraping at all. I think I'm just gonna leave it. If I scraped the front lip I'd probably have a heart attack

I like the blackouts on your tailights. I have them on mine as well.
Have the police ever given you any problems with those?

I know that they are, uh... slightly less than legal... I was just wondering how far less.
I will stop rambling now
