that is a thing of beauty!

i'm currently reading every thread on lowering because after the catch-can this week, that is my next mod.

Which springs did you get? It looks slightly higher in the front but could be just due to the angle.

How is the ride compared to stock?

People often say 2 inch is max for these cars without extreme modding, I'd recommend the pfadt drop kit for a 1.5 drop which is average

I think my worst fear are curbs and bumpstops.
