thanks man!!!! It's caviar(metallic black)... I love the way it hits against light as well. Ya the drop was just right in my opinion. I don't drive the car often...it will settle over the next few days but love it. When are you planning on doing the same?

I have swift springs right now, are you saying that the swift and super down have about the same drop too. Even though the rsr superdowns advertised as 2 inches drop front and rear, while swift is only .8 front and .6 rear? Can you please confirm so i dont have to install the superdowns to replae my swift springs.

Super downs are very low.

I'm referring to the RSR regular down, Swift Springs and Tanabe.

RSR makes 3 different kinds.

Here's what my car looked like when I had stock wheels and swift springs. I like the drop then, but after getting some vmr wheels and different tires they look a little high to me.

Thanks for your help again, you got me convinced! So I got mine dropped on swift's couple weeks ago. By the way, your front SK lip looks like it fits pretty well, who make the lip?

your car is really nice. If you're used to sitting really low, then maybe you should do the rs-r superdowns. Looks good though!

Damn,... looks amazing with stock wheels and the swift springs. The front lip fit looks great, where did you get it from?

your posts convinced me to go with swifts. i finally got my car lowered yesterday (went to tommy's, too). fyi everyone, he charges only $160 for the springs install and is really meticulous with his work. he finished the install in about a little over an hour. the ride with swifts feel amazing. it's ever so slightly stiffer in normal mode but by no means harsh. i have about a 2.5 finger gap in the rear and 2 in the front right now, i think it'll prob settle another 1/8" or 1/4".
