Default Lowered Her...
Pulled the trigger and lowered the GS with Megan Racing Springs. I thought maybe getting something other than RS-R or Tanabe but I am loving the stance and steering is so much stiffer like a BMW. Also added 20MM spacers in the front but now the rear looks off so will be getting 15MM. I am going to add the lower brace bar and upper strut tower soon so yay!

For everyday purpose, I think Megas are fine but we know you Cali boys love that flush look so I wouldn't even consider anything besides Super Downs
