I can tell for sure, especially in the front. Your wheels are looking good with the drop. I bet the rear will settle in like others are saying, though IMO it is less noticable in the rear. How much was this mod for you in total with install if you don't mind me asking?

Yea, it is a little lower. Since u said u got it used, I dont know if it'll go any lower. But eventually you'll see. I'm going to lower mine a bit this week, my rear is really high with my 20's back on. And I think the front can go a little lower.

it's probably the size of the wheels, 19's right? hopefully it'll get lower more after it's settled down! I think with H&R your car will be lowered more.
