sorry mel i forgot the spring rate for the 60/50 what is it again?

[Kwaaahhh]

Are your front spring pads out? Why the hell does it look so low? Im scared for my 24v oil pan now.

Looks low cause he's rolling on 14's. I think if you bigger wheels 60/50 will be ok. If you look at jasonc car w/ 15 doesn't look that low.

anyone else install their LowTecs yet?
i need to see other people's stance and setup.

ps. i ordered my skidplate from ejnight already.

Yes-they are correct.
LowTec uses different colors for the same springs.

Too busy to wash the car and take nice pics. Here it is though; pics taken from my iphone.

lowtec 60/35 drop
bilstein sport
IE fixed front camber plates
new strut mounts front and rear
205/50/15 on 15x8 wheels

The ride is nice. It's not too harsh, not super stiff, perfect for weekend track days. My tires rub a little only when I'm taking hard corners, or when I jump on the gas. The rears rub more than the front.

i like how you have even wheel gaps on your car. although i still am wondering my front is lower. makes my rears look too high. [oh did you make sure that the springs and pads were sitting on the indentation of the struts properly?] i was very careful with lowering the car back down, wanted to make sure the springs sat there nicely.

wow. rears and fronts rub? i'm on 205's all around also. do the rears rub in the inner walls or outside on the fenders?

i do agree i love the ride. stiff enough when i need to corner fast.
for your fronts, is the negative camber noticeable?

hey at least you have an iphone !! haha jk

The picture doesn't do any justice. The drop looks better in person, if you can believe that. The gaps are dead even. I think the picture makes it appear uneven because of the poor iphone camera and shadows.

The pads are mounted properly. I have 205 tires on a wheel with +15 offset. The rear rubs on the fender a little; nothing that I'm worried about now.

The IE fixed camber plate give me 1.25 additional negative camber. Right now, it's about 2.5 neg. total. Looking from the front, you can see the camber, but it looks great IMO. So I guess you can tell. Turn-in and handling is better with the camber plates. But if I were to do it over again, I would have bought adjustable camber plates. I bought these fixed ones used.
