Sorry for posting updated pic(s). The other picture I posted was taken with my camera phone & I thought these two pics show the H-Sport "drop" best.

Weird Photoshop work on the red, Rally. Is the car not really red, or you just wanted it to "pop?"
Looks nice, especially those wheels!!

It's red, but it was exceptionally sunny (and a little after noon) so the original was a bit overexposed....in fixing it, the paint took on a fake-ish look. Just thought it showed the ride height accurately

That's OK, just admit your a cheater. . .

Looking good. Great new sig, too.

What sort of adjustments do the megans have? Ride height only? anything else? They come with camber plates, too right? Fixed or adjustable?

Megans have ride height adjustments independent of the spring perch (don't lose travel), 32 Levels of Adjustable Damper, and adjustable camber plates that can go up to -2.5 degrees without cutting the strut tower (that's what i am running).

Hey Fracky nice car! Have you thought about paint matching the skirts to tie in your front lip? I think that way it would look more intergrated

Hey lkbinustry nice color!!!
Thanks! I've actually done a bunch of homework looking at cars with color-matched skirts & IMHO think the PS-Black-PS contrast works perfect. I am considering the Hamann color-matched side skirts to match the rest of my Hamann gear & to make the car appear lower.

Fracky your car would look like this

I've been thinking about painting to match. Your car would look great!

I agree with keeping them black....the silver emphasizes the wheel gap and makes the wheels flow less well.

Great photoshop though

I PM'd MyCarV about the Photoshop. I really appreciate you taking the time to color-match my arches so I could see how it'd look if I went that route. I've had to look at other people's cars & Google pictures of PS MCS to see what my car might look like. Also, I've been thinking about getting Hamann side skirts to match the rest of my Hamann gear but after I saw the price tag: http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/NM.../InvDetail.cfm for unpainted & still needing body work I quickly nixed that idea!
