Default 2006 250 SGM dropped on H&R

Recently dropped my SGM on H&R and i must say that the ride quality is great. The vibrations are minimal and i love the look. Dont think i would want to go any lower than 1.4 on 18" wheels. Well anyways i know most of you are in for pics so here are a few off my iphone. Not too crazy about the shadow casted on the rear wheel looks odd so i may just add a spacer. Let me k ow what you guys think..

*UPDATE 5/4/12 *. (these picutres are iphone images il try to take some with my sisters nikon in the near future) Im not too happy with the look of the car. I think between the black rims and yellow calipers its too sporty and not enough luxury. Im going to wait till i get tints to make up my mind and maybe expiriment with a few more caliper colors before i decide if i want to do away with the black rims.

Looks good

The H&R springs helped minimized that huge ugly fender gap. If you're planning of keeping those wheels then all you need is spacers to finish the look

Those are 18" 2009 ISF Reps i think they are nicknamed snowflakes. I like the design alot but i may repaint them in the future because they just dont stand out enough with such a dark color car. Im going to do the calipers first in a neon color to see how it looks and go from there.

You need to be aware of parking up over curbs or concrete barriers. You lucked out on missing that one in the picture, but you will soon realize not all curbs are that low.

Enjoy the lowered goodness!

by the way, as far as spacers go check out Muggy's response in this thread. He is running 15mm up front and 25mm in the rear with 18" stockies. Looks good IMO.

Those are some sexy wheels bro. How's the ride on the H&Rs? Cuz I just threw down for some F-Sport Springs (dont want to void my warrantee) also the roads up in Boston suck. Im looking to get a smilar look on my SGM IS, and it looks like its gonna look good.
