How do you like the drop? I'm thinking about going with sportlines. Is your alignment okay?

I like the drop, depending on what kind of drive way you have, road conditions of the city etc., I think this spring has a good balance.

My alignment is wacked to shit probably. I had an alignment appointment at a local tuner shop but they can be pretty unorganized so I had to reschedule. Yes, you need to get an alignment done as soon as you can after the drop.

My old car was lowered 1.6 from stock and I only needed rear camber arms. front aligned to spec. lmk how the BRZ/FRS aligns after the drop. Not much info is around yet and depending on how the car aligns that will make the decision for me. If it aligns like shit I will prolly go with coils.

Finally put on the remaining knick knacks I had lyin around:

TRD Sound Changer - Red
Toytoa Rain Guards
Front Clear Blinker Bulbs - to match the rears already done.
Subaru Leather Wrapped Speaker Surrounds w/ Grille Inserts

I started to install the bobo hood props I got for a song. Upon placing the hardware in the engine bay I was kinda grossed out. The fit and finish is absolute poo.

I'm working now with J-Parts on getting a quality OE style hood prop and have given up on the "universal" style, el cheapo hood props. Meh.

I'll offer the bobo hood props to a local to pick-up for next to nothing.

Last page I posted all my parts I ordered, should be here tomorrow and after that all I need is cusco lower rear control arms and my ISS 3 piece rims and I will be stanced the F out! Can't wait!

Sad part is it is going to be like 6-8 months (unless I get my severence pay when I get medically retired in 2 months which is highly likely along with VA checks the rest of my life!)until I save up for my rims and control arms.
