Nice, good luck with the install. I never installed coilovers but have done shocks, springs and struts. Shouldn't be to hard if you have the right tools.

Grats on the purchase. H&R Street coilovers are great for the price.

Looks really good.

You have any full side shots? I have the same color car/wheel combo and I wanna see how it'll look.

It's probably just the height the picture was taken at. Anyways. Nice drop Kev! Any plans for some new wheels in the future? I'm sure they'd look pretty great with this set up.

yeah i think alex is right but i will be waiting to adjust them, and i do want some rims, but i dont want expensive rims because i know im going to crack them with the way i drive, so maybe something along the lines of what LUCKY alex's rims that he just got, because i love spokes, but yeah im not sure yet.

Give it a few days. Take hard corners to break it in and let them settle to their final resting point. Is that max low setting? And yes, some spacers would be good to push the wheels out a bit so they sit more flush, but that's a minor thing if you're picky like me

Overall, good job
