Default KYBs/Daizens installed.. (Pics inside)

Got my suspension installed today. I think I might have gone too low. Picking up the 20s Friday. Kinda nervous about them fitting. I know I'm gonna have to shave the fenders but what about the splash guards inside the fender?? What do you guys think? Either way I love the look and the ride.

Before..


After..


Crap.. I posted in the wrong forum again. I'm buggin'

Looking good! I'm waiting for a good day to show off my new suspension too.

It's not too low, I like the drop a lot.

Roughly 2 inches (1.9 in the front and 1.7 in the back or something like that). Bought the springs from a CL member in the classified section and the shocks off ebay. Total cost approx $775 installed.

Suprisingly smooth considering on how low it is. Just have to watch the road more (Wont be hard.. I'm from NY)

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Having the rims put on this weekend. Should have pics Sat.

Next mods are: Debadge.. and replace with chome.
Q45 Retros (A MUST)
LED tails
Roof spoiler
Small ebay lip spoiler for the trunk (Not sure tho)

If I keep up the pace I'm currenly on, I'll need to take out a 2nd mortgage mortgage.
