Thanks man! Once I get the wheels I want, it should finally be truly photo-worthy.

As for the OP- the springs are well settled in those pics. The Aero kit only lowers the car visually in two places-- the front under-chin and the side skirts. The wheel gap is still the same, as is the car's overall fender-to-ground height. This will significantly clean up the appearance of your car, Aero or no Aero. Please don't be another Evo slammed on inferior springs.

swift arent so low that you blow your factory shocks... eibachs are just a bit too low (from what I've heard, not personal experience)

Eibach are way to low, I hit something on the road and it ripped my rubber lip off that come with the Aero kit. The ride on Eibachs sucks so bad they are horrible IMO, the Swifts are a better ride.

Swifts

My ride on SWIFT SPRINGS with 265/35/18 no rubbing/rolling fenders. Went with SWIFT because I didnt want too low of a drop for my lip im getting. However I just recently installed some rally armor and They do scrape when I go over speed bumps.
I recommend for street application.

For most people? Massive overkill. Sort of like dating a **** star. I can get off with a Sears catalog; I don't even know what to do with a **** star. She's too expensive, too confusing, too many switches and knobs and adjustments, and I need a professional to even get started with her.
Seriously OT, but this has to be the quote of the year .
