Default Not much but still something done

What it do, my peeps. So I pick my baby up from the shop yesterday. Had class all day yesterday so I had my boy drop me off at class and drop my car off at the shop. Had RSR Superdowns installed as well as 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear. So far, I absolutely love it. She sits great and rides even better.

Here are some pics. Not that great of a photographer so bare with me haha





Just had to snap a pic at BK aha

I'd definitely have to switch from Superdowns to Downs if I were to get 19s or 20s. The drop was huge. I love how she sits though so I'm good with these 18s till maybe summer or fall 2016.

Haha thanks. Yeah, I'd only see myself with Superdowns on no more than 18s. Can't imagine the tire rub and scraping that'd occur with Superdowns on 19s or 20s

Love it, looks smooth. I was thinking of doing the same set up but I don't want to drop the ride quality. How does the ride feel now? Does it scrape at all?

I like the Superdowns with 18s a lot. I have 19s and RSR downs. The ride quality is still quite good. Looking forward to seeing what else you do to the car if you decide to make some changes like going with 19s. If not, your car looks fantastic as is. Welcome to CL!

Yessir, I've scraped at least 4 times. The first was coming out of the shop. Tried exiting at an angle and still scraped a tiny bit. The ride feels amazing though. I love it. I was actually gonna post something about the scrapes haha. Let me find the pictures so I can post them up.

These happened between Thursday, the day I got the springs installed, and yesterday, Friday. I ordered a lip kit though. I had ordered the EZ Lip Pro which is arriving today but I was told on IG that the All Fit Lip kit is much better since it's made from a different material the EZ Lip will rip on the first scrape. So I ordered that one yesterday and I get it on Monday. Gonna just return the EZ Lip Pro since I ordered it off Amazon. I rather have the lip installed right so I'll take it back to the shop as soon as I get the lip on Monday.

Looks good! And for future reference... your license plate is still very easy to see even through the blur.
