Finally got my car lowered...(Real pics this time)
I used H&R springs and left the #3 spring pad in the rear and changed the front #4 to a #2. It seems to sit pretty level now.
I am running 19x8.5 in the front with 235x35 and 19x9.5 in the rear with 275x30. I have had no rubbing with either the front or rear tires.
Not the best pictures, but it was getting dark.

Looks good. I have the same wheel setup with no rubbing problems also, but your car looks a bit lower than mine. Something to keep in mind if I want to change from my Eibachs to something different.

sweet. That's next on my list. Not sure I'll drop it that far, mine is a commuter but.. I do need a lot less 4x4 clearance.
And Angel, geez your car is hawt!
Sometimes I think I should have gone with the black.

I love black cars, minus the constant detailing that you have to keep up on! My car is also a commuter and my drop is simmilar to boosted's drop and I'm running the same wheel set up as him.

ya know that's a good question! I lucked out and bought the car like this, although I wish I would have done it myself that I way I know what was done to the car! Is it easy to tell what kind of pads are on there?

Looks cool. You still have a lot of room on those rear fenders...you may want to try a 15mm spacer to kick out the wheel and make it look just a little more aggressive...but if that's not your thing than you're fine as is.
