Default Lowered my car :D

well finally lowered my car!! put it on road magnet springs with the stock shocks..one of the members from ISF was helping me and when we got to the last one to do he said it seemed like some 1 had taken the stuff off b4 because it was coming off so easy.. turns out my car was already lowered lol had eibach pro kits on it..but here are the pics

gutted

Looks very good! Well be adding springs to my ride very soon! How is yours riding with stock shocks? I may have to go this route as well for a bit.

Yo Twilitte, your answers are in NyceTry first post!

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".
