I second this as well.

I have my H&R sport springs seating in my garage, and picking up 18" factory wheels this weekend!

Oh crap I didn't read that properly. Those are SS. I know very few people who bought sports and enjoyed it. drop is like .5in. Not that noticeable at all.

Perfect stance for my taste. Do you have 35's front and 30's rear? those side walls look smaller than stock? tire stretch?

I like that!.. its very subtle.. would like to see it with no lip on there but it still gives me an idea. I prefer the look that you cant really tell whether its lowered or not, yet it looks like it is a little..

Ditto. The Sports seem to only lower by a neglible amount because the advertised figures are based off of the Luxury model IIRC. Since our Sport models are already ~.5in lower, the additional lowering is subtle.

Tank, any chance you can take quick measurements front/rear (ground to top of wheelwell)? Would really appreciate it.

Agreed. This is what I was stating earlier.

Hopefully if I nag enough...
Please do before and after measurements! Whether center of wheel to top of arch or ground to top. Either way, just be consistent. Thanks!

When you get around to it...I would love to see this, thinking of doing the same thing. How different do you think the spring pads makes it?
