I'll try to get more pictures soon.
The biggest concern that I had about lowering the car was the ride quality.
Surprisingly it was the same as my stock springs (sport tuned)
Couple problems I have with lowering the car are scratching my driveway curb, and that my rear wheels rub against the fender when my wife and son are in the car.
My tire size on the back wheels is 275/30/19

i've only noticed it was off centered after taking the g on the freeway, since when i took it for a spin post-install on rural country roads it did seem that way because i forgot most rural roads are crowned....
so if i hold steering wheel straight, the g will veer left....gotta hold the steering wheel with slight clockwise offset to keep car straight.... going in for alignment tomorrow....

I have exactly the same problem with my car after lowering. I would be of interest to know whether alignment would fix this problem.

i'm pretty sure the alignment fixed part of the off-centered steering issue but the tech must had made adjustments to the steering wheel column coupling to straigten it out more.....
will post numbers up later when i have the alignment printout in hand.
i'm still unsure as to how the steering wheel came off centered just by replacing shocks and springs....
