Default Dropped and cleaned

Well finally lowered my car on Eibachs, was a little pain in the a** took me about half the day to do because I've never done this before and my spring compressor failed. Then of course I had to wash her to make her feel better. Well here's one pic.

Beautiful. I love the gold that you can sometimes see in that color.

The drop is very nice too.

Thanks for all your replies, All the work was really worth it. I think the drop is perfect. The car rides the same over bumps and the road feels actually the same as stock. I'm rally happy with the Eibachs. As far as handling I haven't really pushed them really hard yet but i can tell there is defiantly a difference.
