    Drop

    Finally got my cosmo coils installed. Not slammed but big difference from stock, at least for me. And please don't give me shit for having cosmos. I'm on a budget and wanted adjustibility since I live in the city and plan to have a few different sets of wheels in the future. Car handles and rides great imo. Front is all the way down with the perch completely trimmed and rear still had plenty of room to go. Eventually I'll have around 10mm spacers, maybe camber plates and/or rolled fenders, and the perch welded lower.

    Before:



    After: (springs not settled yet)





    Will give it a wash soon and take some pics with a real camera.

    Edit:

                  Like I said in the first post, the front is all the way down with the spring perch trimmed down. If we re-welded it lower, I assume you could go as low as you want. The rear still had plenty of room to drop. Here's a pic (pretty sure final ride height or very close to)

                    Looks good. I like the stance, but I really want your wheels.

                          Thanks everyone. Yea the wheels are definitely growing on me, especially now without the retarded stance.

                              Give it about 6 months at most and you will have one rear one turned 1/2 way and another one turned 3/4 way and your car will be leaning all kinds of ways.
                              What a waste of money.
