Here is a before and after of my car on H-sports. It's a very modest drop. Exactly 1" as advertised. Very happy so far.

Hey Caster, your car looks very cool, but it looks like you'll be scraping the gum off the street?
I have stock height with JCW aero and my car scrapes every day and on the track too.

The tires are 205/60 15. They're .3" taller than the stock 16" runflats or at least they were when they were new.

It can't be that bad....mine is a little under half an inch lower than that. I just cut off the drop down plastic lip and havent scraped since. The important parts under there dont hang low at all.....so once you get the low plastic lips out of the way, you can drive your car incredibly low

OH MY

My car is at much higher level and honestly, every time I hit a small bumps in the freeway, I feel I'm getting thrown around the car or bottomn' out.

How's the ride with your cars Konky/SPRP?

You just gotta be extra cautious on shitty roads.

Hey NEWMARION, Me thinks we think alike ! This shot was on H-sports but I have since gone with a set of M7 springs which drops it just a bit more.

Someone asked how I drive the car like that, well unfortunately I don't. I had to take the rims off due to the front lip being on the ground when you add my 220lb *** in the driver seat. The rims are 15x8 and I'm probably going to try to find some 16's to see if that'll raise it up a little more.

Cheaper solution: mount taller profile tires.
