Installation done!!! Here's some pics, the 1st two pictures is before and the rest is after(looks almost the same lol). But then i opted for only 1" drop cant expect more...still it looks much better then stock. Since I did a semi full upgrade is tough to tell apart which upgrade did what lol, so I need to put more miles on the car to be able to write a full indepth review on the upgrade.

I LOVE mine. This pictures was a few days after the install. They settled a bit too!! It sits perfect, and retains the fun factor of the FRS. I just can't wait for Bilstien to release their OEM style shocks.

Did you measure the fender opening height before and after? Where the after pix, after driving the car a bit, to settle the suspension, or just set down off the lift?

I've been debating Hotchkis vs. Eibach myself.

Thanks for the pix!!
