H&R springs to create a raked look



Hey gang, wanted to post a couple of pics of my car after I set out to create a "Raked" look.
So, I replaced my front OEM springs with H&R sport springs. My front end dropped 2". The springs say they only drop .75, but my front end literally came down 2" on my tire. Not sure why that would be, but it did.
I made sure to take a measurement of the front fender well to the top of my tire before I replaced the springs and the drop was dramatic.
Also changed out my front side lamps with a smoked colored lens.
Also changed out my front rotors/pads with the Racing Brake set up.
immediately, I can feel the difference with the front springs as the car seems to corner and ride a little tighter.
Will post on the rotors once I have them thoroughly broken in and driven on them for awhile, but out of the gate, no noise whatsoever when braking and my stopping reaction feels much more responsive.
Have a couple more items to go including: chrome and some badging blackout along with new set of wheels and tires.
