Here are some pics. My camera is like .5MP so they suck, but you get the general idea.

Taranis took the words right out of my mouth. You can definitely notice that it is stiffer than stock but they are still comfortable for normal daily use and makes cornering hard easier. I was nervous about the drop at first due to the crappy roads here in Pittsburgh, but I have not run in to any issues.

Yeah the pro-kit drop is pretty minimal. It would be nice to have it a little lower, but I think performance-wise the drop is ideal, but looks-wise it could be a little lower. =)

I actually think the drop is perfect, especially for an everyday car. Do you plan on going lower in the future?

I think it is perfect performance wise, just not for looks. I do not plan on going any lower as of now, but if I did it would be later on and only with coilovers not just springs. I had KW V2s on my last car so it's kind of nice just having the springs. =)

Yeah my wheels are 18x8 and tires are 235/40ZR-18. I'll post up better pics whenever I get some! I keep meaning to buy a camera but then I go and spend the money on my car instead.

*update* got the rims now they just need to go to paint becuse for some reason the sp10's have a silver ring around the inside of the rim. ( I went with the black matte ones not the hyper black) That on top of 2 of them were bent from the guys at FedEx, so I had to send back and reorder........ Tick tock Tick tock.......

I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow to get them calibrated, but if I don't need them calibrated, I will cancel the appointment.
