It's about time!!! --Pics of my car lowered on Tein S Tech--

Hey everyone-

Finally got my car lowered!!! If you didn't read the title , the springs are Tein S Tech, 1.8" Front - 1.1" Back. I love it so far, the ride is a little bumpy compared to stock but that is what you get when you lower a car I guess. I put the stock rims back on for the soon to be move to Phoenix next week. I actually don't think the stock wheels look too bad but we'll see.
Let me know what everyone thinks

I think it looks good man. How much did you pay for the springs? And I personally like the stock rims... I'm not upgrading mine, I mean their light, strong, good looking, right size as far as I'm concerned and are made by a more then reputable company.

Same comment as always....

So do you have other rims or are you going to be keeping the stocks on it?

And, of course, are they "wrapped" yet?

I was wondering that myself. And if you did get it done by a shop how much did it cost you?

Me and a couple friends had access to a shop and a lift so we did it ourselves...It went really smooth, probably took less than an hour and a half all together.

I don't have any other rims as of now, just gonna keep the stock ones for awhile. Hopefully I can get the others sold soon

Thanks again for all the compliments everyone

The springs were $130 shipped off of Ebay. I'm getting used to the stock looking wheels, they look much better with the drop though than with the stock suspension.
Thanks again

It's called Night Shades.....I don't know if you could use it on the headlights or not. I've wanted to smoke the fronts also just to see what it would look like but I'm afraid of cutting down on light. If you do it post pics
