Default I just got lowered!! **PICS**

These are prototype springs.. I am just testing them on my car to see how they look.. and obviously, the front is not low enough, and the back is a little too low. I am fixing the problem though.. This is how it looks like right now..




This is the wheel gap in the rear.



This is the wheel gap in the front.



Honest opinions are appreciated. Thanks

Good drop on the rear, but it looks like stock height up front.

well, most front springs comes a little bit stiffer than the rear because the front of the car weighs so much more than the rear. Give the front a week or 2 and itll drop considerably.

Looks awesome though! good job.

lol.. they are test-springs.. Not for sale. I put them on my car to see how they would look and what i could change with them.. Therefore, i am going to drop the front more and then see what happens..

Testing for who? Who makes the springs?
I agree with what you said...the back is just slightly to low, especially if they are not fully settled, and the front looks stock.

Someone actually BOUGHT these? I thought you were testing them. And obviously, the testing phase was not finished.
If their springs are really like this, I would loose confidence in their coilovers as well.

well.. I wouldn't say anything about their secretary... She's flippin hot dude.. I went by to get them installed and stuff.. They said they had to fix the front, still haven't gotten a reply from them.. it's been 3 months or so.. They kept on saying next week.. They only thing i like from MR would probably be their drift spec cat back. My cousin got coilovers from megan, and they pop and make weird noises.. But they handle reaaaaaallyyyy well! so.. yeah.. I'll keep you updated as long as I am updated..

nah, if they dropped the front to match the rear you'd be poppin some tires. Every time I hit a little bump the rear tires hit the wheel wells really hard. The secretary might be hot but everytime i tell her i need to talk to tech support... he's out of the building... if ya know what i mean.
