Looks great man, interested in a little more info on those springs. I have Eibachs and would really like to go a little lower, keeping a decent ride and not spending the money on the coil overs. So if you could help me out and give me a little more detail on how it is compared to stick, and perhaps some more pics of your wheel well gaps and perhaps some measurements if it's not too much to ask, I'd appreciate it. Really digging the stance!

Well, if you want to go lower, you have 4 options. Coils, H&R, S-techs, or Megan Springs (what I have). H&R is perfect even slammed drop, S-techs sucks because it doesn't lower the car evenly (leaves this gap in the front), and Megan Springs. well below I have 3 pics settled on em on. Springs are cool, I think they are all the same lol! I don't slap new springs and drive it around going like, "oh **** these springs ride better!". Coils are the way to go, but as for these springs... I like the drop, rides good for now, $150, why would I want coils right now right? not like I track the car nor will be adjusting it like every month or week. lol anyway. Varrstoen 9.5 +22 fronts (245/35) , 10.5 +22 rears (255/35) dropped on Megan Springs.

any up close shots of the front wheels and the amount of clearance between the wheel and fender? Considering a 19x9.5 +15 non-staggered setup

With my drop you can do 19x10.5 all around +12 if you wanted to. I've done it before. Although you're going to have to run 245-255/30-35s around. I'll try to get close up pics tonight.

Hey I second wanting see a close up pic. Also quick questions I'm currently running stock 19s staggered with 245 40 19+ 20mm spacer in the front and 275 35 19+ 15mm spacer in the back. Would I be able to use these springs without rolling the fenders. I know I'm guaranteed to have some sort of camber. I'll deal with it later. I seriously have it sitting in my cart waiting for response.

Be careful with any wheels.

Your car looks very nice with those wheels.

I'm sure your G is already rolled so don't worry about rolling , but the fender liner in the rears, you can either trim it or the tire will eat/trim it for you. I also bent the bumper support up in the rears because it will hit your tires. The camber you'll get with these springs is similar/close to the camber you get when dropped on S-techs/H&Rs.

Anyway since we're talking about drop, camber etc, and you brought up wheel spacers. Here's my car with oem wheels/tire size +25mm all around dropped on S-techs

Thanks man your really helpful. I'm deffently ordering them. Sorry to hear about ur curb rash. The look of your headlight mods really flow well with the rims. Your stance looks really good and it's appears to be more original than what everyone else has. Guess that comes with experience cause your older sets look great too.
