Your coupe is most like not lowered if you cant tell. You will need coils to drop 2 inches. If your looking to do it cheap I know that Tanable df210 drop about 1.7in and its a good drop.

Also, keep in mind that if you do lower your car by that much, you will need front and rear camber kits. And if you go with springs, you'll need to eventually upgrade your shocks.

I am dropped on Tanabe DF210s. Stock shocks, no camber kits. You only need a camber kit if you're worried about a lil tire feathering. I'll do my shocks at some point... lol. Here's some before and after pictures.

BEFORE


AFTER


In the after pic, my springs have settled a lil lower since then. I have 0 gaps and I love it

My only advice would have been to buy from somebody other than Strafe.

I just bought an inven from strafe^^, got mine back after a week and a half, which is reasonable. I had to return it te following day though since the paint was hella off . but they are painting it and should get it back tomorrow or WED. But I did hear about that manufacturer deal as well, but i've had good communication so far.

i sent the payment like three weeks ago, and it was like that for me sometimes too in regards to the communication...texting him would be your best bet.
