except it never looks properly dropped
people on the local forum are raving about these re ride & handling balance so i was just curious to know if it works on aussie roads too

Sure do - I went from stock 86 springs to STI Pinks, very happy with them and the ride/handling compromise is fine on Queensland roads with some light track duty thrown in.


Drop is certainly enough for my needs with the Aero (Nur Spec) kit.

properly dropped is a pretty loose term that is up to personal opininion i love stanced and slammed cars just can't picture having to deal with clearance issues or scraping the fuck out of the car I meticulously detail and keep spotless haha, plus my driveway/neighborhood bumps are brutal (scraped a couple times on stock height and 18s )

sort of like saying what is too tight

one and a half fingers in both cases

i am lowered 1.2 inches and it looks low enough without making the car unusable.
