how much did they charge to put them on you stuck with the stock struts right? any way it looks good makes me want to take the leap

Looks much better after the drop! :sweet:

Did you modify the Tein springs at all? Or did you put a giant load in the trunk? Your rear end is much lower than mine!!! :evil:

The only difference I can think of is the tire height? 225/40/18 and you're on 225/45/18... But it looks more than 5mm to me...
BTW, I have an empty trunk + empty gas tank... but i do have the spare tire inside...

D-Money: They charged me $150. I knew the guy too though but I'm not sure if he gave me a deal or not I just did it. And yes, I'm on my stock struts. It seems to drive really good actually. Not very bouncy at all.

Nemoxfishy: I had a full gas tank, a sub, and my old springs(actually kinda heavy) in there. And, like you said, my tires are bigger than yours. I did a bit of test driving and it does rub a bit in certain situations, not in the front yet but in the back.

more like 5% no?
i always thought the 2nd # was % of the first
so its actually about 11mm or 4-5 inches?

About the taking corners faster, LOL yes, I love it. Today was the first time I drove around just because, it was raining too. And i was taking corners fast. I was just asking for it. Anyways with the 5% thing and 11mm and all that sorry idk what all that means. Explain?

^It means that overall, the diameter of your wheel/tire combo is 11mm larger than that of someone with 18s and 225/40 rubber.

45% of a 225mm treadwidth = 101.25mm
40% of a 225mm treadwidth = 90.0mm

Overall, at least a 11.25mm difference in rubber, emaning you fill the rear fender gap better than us 40-series guy. Oh yeah, that includes me. You SUCK!!! J/K, sort of.
