washed and waxed after coilover install

I thought I would post some pics after I got it all cleaned up. The drop is 1.5" all the way around after installing a set of omnipower coilovers. Enjoy!

The ride is not bad, I wouldn't go over any big bumps but it seems to be a little better than stock on normal roads. The only problem I'm finding so far is that the car follows every little bit of the road, i.e. ruts, grooves etc.

Yes, it is a bit low in the back but that's what you get with a 1.5" drop all the way around, I may bump up the back a 1/4" this weekend. I'd love to drop the front some more but if it's any lower I won't be able to get it up the driveway!

dropping the front more than the rear will upset the weight balance no?

looks awesome by the way thinking of evo 7 tails? they look great on the white evos

Thanks, I was thinking evo 7 tails or MR tails down the road.

It's fine line on the drop, obviously if you drop the front too much more than the rear then you do ruin the weight balance but at the same time cars typically like to have the rear higher than the front.

This is on S-techs. I am getting coil-overs down the road but I couldn't handle the Rally look anymore.
