Default My new "drop"

I changed out my Neuspeed Race springs (2.0F, 1.75R) for some Neuspeed Sport Springs (1.75F, 1.5R) this weekend since I was so tired of scraping coming out of my driveway and wanted a little more sleeper look than slammed. The difference isn't much but the ride is much closer to stock and I don't scrape on everything on these crappy OC roads anymore. I can stand the decreased handling, so overall, I am very impressed with how it turned out. I also got a new set of rubbers and an alignment. I got a set of Nitto NT450 for $320 total with labor, mounting, balancing, and valve stems and then a full toe and camber 4 wheel alignment for $70. Let me know what you think.

Lookin' good Shmoo. Still need to lose the exhaust though For some reason your tires look lower profile than usual. Could be that its 4:15 am here...

Thanks guys. The exhaust will have to do for a while since I need a new clutch.

The tires are the same profile as stock, so it must be an illusion.

I was in desperate need of an alignment. The front two tires had a toe spec of -.6* and the camber actually went 1* positive after I raised it up.

Looks much better actually. I'm not a fan of the slammed look.

About a 1/4". Not very noticable, but it doesn't look quite so slammed. Maybe if I took the pictures anywhere but my driveway, you would notice.
