Default Finally Lowered

I have had the car about a year so it is now time to mod. This is the 14k/12k BC Extreme Drop kit. It rides pretty good needs some fine tuning. Upper control arms are definitely banging. Believe it or not there still about two inches of adjustment left to go lower...crazy.

Next up is a paint job (might stay white or might change it up) and a RMM front facia, for a while I'll be on G35 18s until I come across wheels I want, with kids it might be a while. Also going to do the LS brakes.

And yes it will stay this low

I know its far from some of these amazing ride on here but it's a start i think.

Nice drop, with the right wheels it will set it off real nice. You might want to do the Supra brakes to avoid having to install those spacers. I do not like that idea with cars that are lowered.

I"ve tried twice...just comes right back . I plan on swapping out the lenses to a clean set so i can keep the SD lighting themselves.

Looks nice, similar to how mine is sitting now until I get wheels on. How did you get the fog lights to be on without the low beams?

Looking good. Too Low for my taste BUT its because the OEM Wheels. Once you throw some wheels on, it'll look really nice.

Hello fellow '03 Sport Design owner! Car is looking good!

Anyway I'm just about ready to order these, with the same spring rates. Except I was going with the regular BC's and some RCA's to get it lower.

Which vendor do you recommend purchasing from?
