Pure red FRS, how it looks on yonaka coilovers and XXR wheels

Just put on my yonaka coilovers yesterday (took me almost 9 hours doing it all by myself). I lowered from 36cm to 32.5cm on the front, and 37cm to 33cm on the back (1in = 2.54cm). XXR wheels 17 x 8.25 +35

First off, they are pretty affordable, I paid $749 for them shipping and taxes included, I bought them from redline360 because they offer it at a cheaper price than yonaka itself. It is my daily driver so I don't need high performant coilovers and pay too much. These ones look and feel reliable too, that's what I care.

Secondly, the product detail said 0 to 4in adjustable ride height (which would have been great if the actual distance was accurate), so I thought that was nice, but I maxed out on the ride height adjuster, and only dropped by almost 2in, I am not very upset about it because I am very happy with the current ride height, and I don't want any more drop because I would scrape the hell out of the front lip and damage it because it took me many days to sand, paint, and detail it to make it look as shiny and smooth as the original paint.

Thirdly, ride height adjustment is indepedent of the spring preload so I don't have to change what the coilovers were engineered and designed for.

Forthly, it has 32 way adjustable dampening and because the car is my daily driver so I want plenty of adjustability

Lastly, I just loved the finish.

The coilovers feel just like the factory struts (pretty stiff) because I have not touched the dampening adjuster yet

Also, I will install sideskirts which illusionally makes my car appear lower to the ground and I don't have rubbing issue even though my car appears low to the ground which is nice. If you want to completely remove the ugly wheel gap and to slam your car, I think you should find something else

If your car was parked next to mine, it would take me a moment to figure out which one is mine haha. Did you paint the lip yourself? I bought mine painted for $178 including $50 shipping. I think I should have painted it myself like I did the front lip. Are you running 18in wheels on your car?
