Just some new pics after washing..
I think it'll look badass with a drop on it. That's just my two cents tho, but overall, looks nice. I can't say sh*t cause I barely dropped my car a week ago after hating the 4x4 look with stock springs.
Yeah, I know, my car is begging for a drop.
Do you think I should do exhaust first, or the drop? And, as far as the drop goes, I am such a n00b with it.
What would I need to drop my car 2 inches? Whats the best for the money, practicallity, etc. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 *sigh* I've been wanting to wash mine for the past two days but its been mid 90's and damn humid and "chance of thundershowers". Yet no rain ever happened. I hate weather people.

Go with The goldlines Get in on the Group Buy. I paid $100 for them a couple months ago and got them installed for like $150. Its not too expensive ride is great and My Tsunami never scrapes
i think you'll need a camber kit to correct the angle of your wheels after the drop. SPC is the way to go for that...i have sprint cambers, basically same thing...little more expensive.
You can get goldlines, but I have ground control coilovers, ($300 for whole kit comes with 4 springs). Ride is decent with stock shocks, better than my friend's prelude's ride. And he has ground controls with koni struts.

Rep Power: 389 You may and you may NOT need a camber kit after you drop it. It all dpeneds on how everything settles I guess. My fiancee's car has about a 2 inch drop (maybe a little less than that) with 17's and has no need for a camber kit. If it makes a difference, he has adjustable coilovers.
And depending on how your stock shocks are now, chances are you're going to have to replace them once you drop the car. Stock shocks don't really support the car too much after you lower it. Get some Koni's. They work like a charm.
Your car looks nice now. But with a nice drop, it'll be even sweeter.

Seriously, looks good so far, but drop it first.
Hey Gotti- You should just save up for Tein SS like I am. From what I have read this is the best suspension set up for our cars. It costs alot more intially, but you get what you pay for. Alot of people hate their Koni's and I think i have read also alot of people wish they would have just got the Teins from the beginning.
Another thing is I dont think you can drop 2 inches. If I remember correctly you have 215/45/17 tires (like me) which means you can probably drop around 1.5". I know Goldlines will rub with ours tires and I think goldlines are about a 1.75" drop (maybe settle around 2"??).

Ya, that's a great point...I had 45's and a 1.75" drop on mine. Had the 45's for about 2 days. I have 16" wheels and they didn't rub but if I hardcored the car in a turn they would have...I went with 40's, same tire....Michelin Pilot Exalto's.
