Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure how deep they are, I'll get a measurement tomorrow.

Sorry for crappy Android picture. NM engineering springs and Koni yellows on neutral setting. It has only been a day and a half since these were installed. I estimate a quarter inch to a half inch lower it will go once it all settles in. Ordering another set of tps sensors for my mew NM engineering wheels sitting in my garage. Still doesn't look that bad with stock wheels.

Damn those technic springs drop!

How's the ride feel after all this time with stock struts?

Was thinking of getting these but not too much input about em.

Are those 215/45/17?

The ride feels pretty much the same, a bit harsh. I think my new Pilot Sports help the ride though. I've read the Koni yellows help out a lot.

As for the tire size, right on. 215/45/17. =)

Well that looks damn good with 215/45.....makes it look like it's dropped more then an inch because of the taller tire.

Omg, I can only dream of going that low...the routes to work and home would no way allow that.

Well done here folks...probably the coolest thread here
