Here is the rear:

(I forgot that in my original measurement, I had the springs in my trunk...meaning, the rear was weighed down a bit)

Here are some snapshot side views of BEFORE and AFTER...

[Marc08EX]

WOW!!! The afters look amazing!!! It seems that the finger gap is eliminated from a far! How's the ride btw? Since the drop is only 1.2"F and 1.0"R, do you think that it will bust up the stock shocks fast?

[dking99]

Nahh, I hear the stock shocks will be just fine with such a small drop. Just need an alignment.

The ride is much different that what i had thought it would be. Many people told me it would be "stiff." I thought stiff meant cornering better, which made sense to some point.

It is not stiff at all....it is a much smoother ride / less stiff. [I]Slightly[I] bouncy over some smaller bumps, but overall, a great ride.

What I notice most is turning and exit ramps. I think I can drive about 30% faster (65mph vs. 50mph) around most ramps without any hesitation. Cornering is very nice now. I am obviously still used to the old handling, now, I feel like I can turn any corner and not be swayed from one side to another.

I would say it bumps my ride quality rating from an 8/10 to a 9/10.

It is significant, but I am positive it will be something I get used to fast.

If you are looking to ad performance, definitely go with this pro kit drop. No camber issues to deal with. It is the cheapest way to go with the most benefit.

Took it to a shop...a friend of a friend kind of thing. $300 total. I told him that everyone on this forum quoted a 2 to 3 hour job. He said no way and gave me a $300 rate. I had about 5 quotes given to me, 1 of which was $300, one was $350, and the rest were above $400. I went with him because he was close by and convenient. When I picked the car up, he said it took him about 3 hours and 45 minutes...not the 2 to 3 hours everyone else mentioned.

It took a friend of mine and I around six hours but we over analyzed for a good 2 hours of that. Plus, it's my new car so I wanted to be extra careful.
