Looks good mang. How's the ride? I went with Tien Flex's, but I've been wondering how the stock struts have been holding up for people with springs.

Did you get those from Options Auto Salon and how do they feel?
Nice drop by the way.

Cheers,

How much? I'm really interested.. Looks so damn good, but I don't think it's a smart mod to do just before winter arrives, I may have to hold off til spring

Got them from Options. $150 + $30 shipping to Ohio Z1 and DRC were saying $190 including shipping in another thread I started asking about the STechs. Best price may just depend on where you live.
The ride? Just went cruising for about an hour... Not any more jolting than stock, maybe less even. Seems to have less body roll through fast turns, but then again I didn't notice much roll w/ stock either. Also never had lowering springs before.
Wheel gap is a lot better. Tein says 2" in front 0.9" in back, but the only way to make the larger front gap go away is with a bigger drop in front I guess. Seems to give a slight forward slope. I suppose it depends on what you want - if you want more aggressive, equal wheel gap, go with Tein. If you want more level, with wider front gap, go with Tanabe, Eibach, or something else.
Clearance, not really a problem, even though I was pretty worried about it too. I've just been driving in and out of my driveway at more of an angle.

EVOMIZ, you tint yours yet? I'm getting mine done Saturday!
