I just go this done so they haven't settled completely and I'm gonna hold off on writing down any impressions before I drive these things a bunch. So far the front is down 1 whole inch and the back is lowered about 3/4 of an inch. Huge thanks to Circuit Motorsports for getting this done! Hands down the best shop in Orlando. Very cool and highly knowledgable.

Subtle yet classy drop. Very nice. Thank you for providing accurate measurements, I'm sure that will come in handy at some point.

Car looks really good! I am digging the results from the spring kit.

Glad we could get this done for you, and we appreciate the business

I highly recommend the Pro kit if you're looking for a good useable drop. The sportlines will drop the car a little too much IMO, unless you're going for a more dropped look.

Yeah, I'm kinda torn. I think I will want to go lower if I did get the pro kit.. Usually is the case with me ,lol. Thinking about those with Koni Yellows

I got my alignment done right after I got these installed. In my case my right side camber and toe were a bit off.

After the springs settle wont you need another alignment? I'm new at this stuff and trying to gather all the info I can... were they able to get it back in to spec range or will you need camber adjustment parts?

I'm pretty new too, so I'm not exactly sure. If they do settle a bit more, in my mind it would only be a sixteenth of an inch at most which wouldn't throw the camber off too badly.

The alignment got everything back to spec. You won't need to buy camber bolts or anything for them to do the alignment.
