My Baby a.k.a "Jessica"
I have never posted any pics of my car recently after the drop back in August and I was finally able to get to it.
Here's My Baby before and after the H&R springs with Bilstein Sports and DOT 1 Pads...sorry for the poor quality on the shots...My hands were shaking when I was trying to take the shot. Lolz

Thanks guys!
SFCLK...yes, 18 aero II's. I do get the vibration between 65-70mph. My dealer said that my left LCA bushing's worn out. That was the cause of the vibration/shake although I got used to it already..It's been doing that vibration for 3 years now. Lolz...

In your first two photos (the night time ones) your car looks lower then the day time one, were you parked on a slope ? My car looked as high as yours in the daytime photo when I got her, but I lowered it with Eibachs, very happy now!.

Thanks! I like what you did with your grill
...did you match the color of the grill to the car? I was going to do the same thing but I was thinking of doing it in flat black...what do you think?

rock, what size and which brand tires are you running? any close ups of the wheels/tires?
i'm thinking about going with 235/40 and 275/35 for my next set.
don't think rolling is necessary. if anything, lowering would more tire further from fenders at this point.
