Finally dropped the car after wanting to basically since I bought the car. The coilovers feel pretty good so far, not to harsh, I need to drive it around some more. Just washed the car for first time in 4 weeks. We have water restrictions so we can only wash cars between 2 hours a week on a certain day. It sucks but anyway here are some pics.

Going to a meet later, so I'll take some pics with the drop and the recently added LCI tails.

Yeah, just a matter of paying the shop to install it.

So I took it thru a drive thru some back roads, and I could feel literally every bump and it seemed to bounced a bit. Does it take some time to get broken in? The shop who installed it said they would set it to about 50% stiffness.
