It's amazing what a set of wheels and a drop will do for a car. Looks great!

Thanks! It's kinda hard to be unique with these cars as it seems everyone's going crazy modding them. I wanted to do something a little different, but I'm sure there's quite a few just like it. A lot of guys remove the CS side stripe, but on the black I really like it. It's kind of a "ghost" stripe since it's flat black.

I agree with the ghost aspect. Makes your car very unique.

There was a firesale on DUB/Eibach Pro/FRPP K springs a while back on Ebay and I got them for I think $125. They weren't the exact springs I wanted, but I figured I'd try them out for the price. They didn't drop it as much as I'd like, so I've removed the isolaters in the rear, but now I can hear a little rear end NVH, so I'll probably put them back in. Eventually I want to do Koni STR.T's, GT500 mounts, an Adj panhard and I might swap out the springs for Sportlines.

I just did the BMR Panhard and the Sportline springs. It's an awesome ride and looks really good. Messing with those mounts wasn't alot of fun, but it worked out.

Does one of your wheels stick out being lowered without the panhard?

adjustable panhard is a must when lowering, even with the slight drop of the pro kit it leans to one side.

Yeah, one side is out about 1-/4-1/2" vs. the other. I'm gonna change the struts out next, so I figured I'd do it all at once...

That makes sense. I didn't do the struts/shocks and I was worried as hell about the ride being crappy. LOL, rides like stock still without all he floating around.

I got a new camera this week, so I was playing around today with it. These are pretty much the same "poses" as above, but with the new camera. The only change to the car is I removed the running pony from the CS front grill.
