Lowered My Car (Before & After Pics)

Well I finally got my H&R springs installed today. They have about a 1.5" drop to them. The ride is a bit stiffer, but nothing I cant deal with. I would appreciate any and all comments.

AFTER

Looks nice. What components did you use? And are your rims 16s?

Side note... have you thought about taking off your pinstripe? I was scared to do mine at first, but I'm glad I removed it now.

Honestly, I can't tell much of a difference either. Maybe you could go with 17's eventually to give it a lower look. A body kit would do the trick, too.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, for those who can not tell I am going to try and get a better pic tomorrow, it was raining and dark around here when I got home today.

XxJDMCivicxX very close, it is a 1.5" drop

white2K2EX, the pin stripes and door and wheel well trim is coming off next spring. I plan on getting the car repainted, just not sure what color.

take a picture of the gaps to show people the difference. I closer pic would be better for this reason. I can tell the difference. I am thinking of getting a h&r springs. How much were they and where did you get them?

If you took the pic right after you installed the springs, it probably didn't look much different because it usually takes a few days to settle. I'm sure if you were to take a pic now, the difference might be more noticable.

Get some Koni's!
