I really do dig your car. It would be an awesome daily driver, I'd love to have one. Your car is plain and simple, I like it.

It does look better lowered although, maybe it's just me, but I'd be disappointed if I installed lowering springs and stock cars still had lower front fascia's, nonetheless bumpers than I. I remember talking to a customer at work this summer about his Volvo S70 he had in and told me that his lowering springs dropped his car .4" up front and .8" in the rear. Maybe it's a Volvo thing I don't get, I dunno, but I just figured why even bother.
Thanks man.
I totally agree with you though. I knew these springs werent going to lower the car much, I just wanted a slight drop ~1.4". Reasons being I have a steep as hell driveway, I do A LOT of driving and I will not sacrifice the comfort of the ride for looks, and I did not want to ruin my car/bumper in the snow. I love really low cars but they REALLY low aspect just isnt practical for this car. They do make springs that lower this car 2" all around, and it gives a sexy drop, but again, I didnt want those. They also make coilover kits, etc that will lower the car even more.

I know what you mean about the angles of the pictures too. The only difference between me and your friends is that I wasnt trying to make it look low, I just liked the picture
