2 words.... Bigger Rims.... Not quite the drop I was expecting, but I'm sure in time they will settle.

Thanks guys

srt clone ..the install wasnt too bad. It was the first thing that ive done to it that took some time though. Its all about having the right tools for the job really...otherwize it would have taken much longer to do on my own

Transifi I know what you mean about the rims, unfortunately I dont have a ton of cash at the moment so Ill have to wait a bit before i get some nice ones on there. And I think once they settle even more they will look even better

soldier, thanks man. Cant wait to see what yours looks like with the srt rims on it, should look really good.

Coilovers + steel wheels with covers = cool

I actually think they have settle a bit...Ride is a little bouncy compared to stock, but it is tolerable...Corners and handling ins general have improved by a lot. Over all it was a good buy for the price...(ended up being about 150 canadian..thats after shipping and duty taxes)

I will post some more pics soon

i have these springs on my car too, with 17s, had them almost 2 years now and they have settled alot, id say about 2.5", maybe more??

this isnt the best pic, but heres a side view of it. all the pics i have on the computer show it right after the drop. but i fi go backand look at what the drop has progressed to over time, its a big diff. one thing id def reccomend is getting new struts. i didnt replace mine (cuz i was told i didnt have to) but with the drop mine have now, it blew the rear struts about a year ago, and i havent been able to afford new ones...anyways...hers my pic
