excites your girlfriend
what year is your car? an 05? and it looks like that drop wasn't very much, like half an inch maybe?

oh and krew if he bought h&r springs he did not cut anything. cutting your springs is a really bad idea.

Thanks guys for the comments it sure motivates me to keep on modding. As for the drop its 1.3 F and 1.4 R I think. Compare to my original springs which only lower .5 it sure makes some differences both in handling and apperance. The pads are the stock ones from 05. Those are 18's with 225/35 and 265/40 which is for sale if anyone is interested.

I meant what brand are you using? Are you sure it's not 225/40 and 265/35 instead of the other way around?

How much was the H&R Lowering Spring kit? I'm interested. All you got was the kit and installation right? No other mods to suspension?

Gorgeous. I've seen few rims that actually improve the look of the car, but these, in combo with the drop, look terrific.
