Hello everyone!

Most people here have dropped it like it's hot, so I would like to see it!
I could use search (and I have), but some kind of collection of pics and info could help future 'droppers' to make decisions, like me.

So, if you could take/send a picture of your car dropped and give some info about your springs and struts or coilovers and some other things, it would be great. Like this for example:
- spring kit + promised & actual drop height
- struts
- wheel sizes
- tire sizes
- wheel gap front + rear
- possible issues

Sorry if we already have this kind of collection...
What do you say mates?

And thank you for your efforts!
