So mj50, you used #4pads all around or just in the rears? And I'm assuming that's to make it more even with the front? Sorry, a little confused about the pads.
Also, where did you get it installed if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

i used #4 pads for the rear... there are no spring pads on the fronts... yes, if u don't change the pads, the rear will have no gap while the front does... i got mine installed at TWS...

Looks good. I thought the cup kit would lower the car even more, but you do have very thick spring pads. are you planning to replace the spring pad anytime soon. I would look awsome if the there are no gaps between the tires and the fenders. But it looks good already.

actually i like the drop now...
not too low and still sporty...
pretty good ground clearance...
i hope the springs won't settle down too much...

i was wondering though, if it's possible to put #1's in the front and #4s in the rear? to give it a better stance...(the front is a little bit higher than the rear)?? any pictures with the #1's all around?
thanks in advance
