One of the better views that shows the size and gap, keep in mind this was before GiantsFan lowered his car:

^Man.. the good old days of not worrying one bit haha.

Some other angles of my car at stock height:

Bump. Want to see more pictures.

I've got the stock "sport" suspension, rwd. Is the sport suspension any lower than standard rwd suspension.

Looking to get new rims, but can't imagine lowering the car for the roads I've got to drive on.

Thanks.

I think the "sport" suspension is lower by about half an inch. Not reallly that noticable

Will the F-Sport springs work with the AWD models? How much of a difference is there between stock RWD ride height and stock AWD ride height?




(sorry, I am still learning)
