He may have just set the coilovers for that height for the picture. If not that is damn low.

Looks nice. How much did you pay? I'm thinkin bout gettin these coilovers but I was priced at $1200. Dont know if I wanna spend that much right now. Right now, I'm leaning toward the basic dampener kit for $800. Are yours dumped all the way down in the picture, 2.4 in front and 2.1 in rear? Do you know of any comparison between the Super Street Damper and the Basic Damper?

i was very very VERY lucky to get it at that price...it was sort of a mistake..i ordered the basic coilovers and they actually sent me the wrong ones...so instead of basic they sent me super street coilovers...so about getting it for 960 it was by luck

nice car, it is kind of strange it looks like mine, you should get some other angles,
the drop is not that much it is the same as the stech's, its cool though.

Hey, your front grille looks really clean. Is that mesh over the stock grille, or is it just debadged?
