Since flickr is being a pain right now. Here are some pics when I had z s-techs up front.
.7 up front so 1.2 total? Damn, screw it. I need coils

that looks like a really good drop. I'm aiming for that on coilovers.

I'm pretty sure S-techs drop an X more than .7" up front. My stock coupe springs dropped me more than that.

My Sedan S-techs droped me 2.5" total. But I need to go down another .75-1" to even out my wheel gap. Rear sits near perfect now. Could go down another .25"

10/8 seems to be the most common.

Bc

Just got dropped on BC's.
Love the drop, but i dont know how some of you guys drive around even lower then this. I'm scrapping on dips in the road. Just need to get used to it.





And the final touch:


What you guys think?
I guess I can still go a bit lower, but I'm good for now. Maybe with some more aggressive wheels and stretched tires. I wanna go flush.

nice drop, it wasn't that hard to install it yourself was it now... I know i'm lower then you in the front and we are about equal in the back. There WILL be scrapes but thats part of the journey.

Are the convertible springs different than the normal ones?

If I'm sitting around 1" lower on my X, which wheel would look better?

19x8.5 33 offset all around

19x9.5 40 offset all around

I haven't dropped the car yet but soon (coupe fronts/sedan sport rears) And maybe a rear camber kit. I don't want to be too low or too aggressive at all. Just sitting nicely on 19s. I know there will be a decent gap but I don't want to scrape or run crazy camber. I want my tires to actually last.
