you should see how it is now, i drove about 50 miles after the install and it has settled down. its tucking all the way around! im going to try to get better pics when my friend does a photoshoot of it...

i love the ride... i dropped it the max on the front, the settings are at 12 all the way around. (16 is the softest)

i bargained with the guy and got it for 1200... and it was 150 to install it. So total 1350, cash/no tax!

Sorry, I think its too low...for me
If it had bigger rims, it would be ok, but how the stock wheels are actually tucking under the wheel well looks a little too much.

Cool

Nice job and congrats!
Don't sweat it. Take your time and pick out the wheels that compliment the car and the drop.
Are you in the DFW area? Would be nice to occasionally see another dropped ES that's being treated proper like.
