Wow. I was torn between SWP and WRB for the longest time. Seeing your first picture just floors me! I would've done exactly what you've done! I love how black goes with WRB. Idk why more people don't do it! Especially the side markers. Those smoked ones look perfect.

Also, I had plasti-dipped my factory wheels also before I purchased a real black set. It makes such a big difference with the real thing though! Your bottom picture looks good, but those black Enkei really take it to another level. Thanks for sharing!

Any comparisons/thought between the pro kit and the Tein S Techs?

Someone mentioned earlier whether or not:

1) is it REQUIRED to have the camber adjusted after installation of these springs
2) is there any camber adjustability from the OEM setup

Maybe this is a stupid question, but in the first post the measurement is 25 1/2" after the drop on stock wheels. Soooo....if someone has 18" wheels what should the fender height be? Would it just be one inch higher at 26 1/2" height?

The reason I'm asking is because I love the drop on the Pro-Kit and I'd like to adjust my coilovers to have a similar look. Right now I'm on 18" wheels and my fender height is 25 3/4". It looks great, but I'm curious where I'm at in relation to a Pro-Kit.

Idk if you still have this set up but what are the wheel/tire specs?

I also have the pro kit and having trouble trying to decide what wheels to get. I really want 18x9 and beefy tires

I'm actually on coilovers now. My drop is about 1.3"....between a Pro-Kit and Sportlines.
