Thumbs up New Springs Installed

After going back and forth whether I'm going to install lowering springs on my car, finally I decided to use L-tuned springs. Here's some pics before and after it's installed..



This was taken just before I went to the shop..

are you asking for the amount of drops it gives? or the spring rate etc? what i know it gives abt 1" drop that's it. lol. for further info, maybe u can google it up.

haha. it's not an aggressive setting so it kinda look the same if u're not familiar with L-tuned setup. I don't want to give too much drop tho.. I would say 1" drop?
