Finally Lowered the Base Model

Well, my eibach prokit came in yesterday so we went to my buddy's house today and put them on. Ride is great, looks awesome, and i couldn't be happier.


This is last weekend, At the XceedSpeed BBQ




and this is from this after noon.

Hell, drive up here for a few minutes and you'll understand why... There's some mad steep hills around here, and some of them just go flat into the cross roads... not smoothed enough, and you scrap up in front.

personally, a good low drop and a nice set of wheels can change the whole look of the car 100% for the better. Imo it looks sooo much better. the lower the better, jus suck it up and drive slow over bumps ;-)

zomg pros!!.. I got the sportlines.. Makes it look like a normal car that is lowered a little. Our car came with excessive height, so it needs excessively lowered!! I learned not to get pro's from wikky :P I love them though. Makes better driving, cornering, shifting, and looks
