the neuspeeds dropped it 1.8"F, 1.7"R. the drop isn't extreme but cleans up the lines really well. the bilsteins have a shorter piston so i gained back about an inch of compression suspension travel, i haven't bottomed out once.
the tires are azenis ST-115, not the Azenis... treadrating of 360, so i hope they'll last me at least two years.
i've been looking into modifying a mugen or type-r front lip and adding the oem sideskirts.
and i agree that cleared headlights or black housings would look sick, i'm a little wary of taking them apart, and i just dropped like $2500 for everything else, so that'll wait.
thanks for all the good comments!
