Default went a little lower

finally my impatience got the best of me and i went ahead and lowered the car before i could order the rest of the suspension stuff...H&R sport springs and Koni yellows. love the ride, not too much difference from stock. definitely firmer. still need to mess with the adjustments a little to get it how i want it comfort wise...now just waiting on my wheels (Rays SS7) to be refinished and powder coated.
