He used Road Magnet Springs. As for how much it dropped....since he had Eibach Prokit springs on there prior and wanted a lower drop....so the Road Magent springs probably dropped (my guess) around 2" since a set of Eibach drops around 1".
yep prokits are like a 1.25 drop so i wanted to be way lower so i got the road magnets which drop it 2 inches

Yeah....I can't wait either. The more I look at my current stock height the more anxious I am getting. I hope they come in this week so that I can install them this weekend!

Yes....go buy a Sportx! I get compliments almost everyday and some people even thinks that its a new model...lol One time this dude said.."Is that a new model for 2009 from Lexus.." I was like..."it's a 2005..but thanks for the compliment!"
