lol you guys are so funny, i think my car is pretty low already!... First time suspension owner, I originally wanted to get F-Sport springs cause that look was good enough for me.. but at the price of those springs + asorbers, I went with the Ez coilovers and saved 300 on top of that.. I went with the front lower then the back because I think it looks more aggressive that way

Yes apparently the 08 model came with the Graphite Liquid Finish (kinda a Gunmetal finish) The 06-07 had the Hypersilver finish?

just curious what your dampening settings are for the front and do you rub the fender liner at all?

I was also thinking bout putting spacers on my OEM wheels but decided not to, Just gonna save that money towards my aftermarket rims.. thinking bout going a gunmetal deep dish 19in with tires with a budget around 1500-2000 dollars.. you guys think that will get me some pretty sick rims at that budget?
