Take a decent side on shot and we can get a better idea of the look. From that first pic though you look pretty damn low. Looks good, also glad to hear you did the job yourself. Not only can you be proud your car is sitting right, but the satisfaction you did the job yourself adds to the feeling.

will do. and i actually raised the front about tw0 inches bcuz it was too low.
the car is probably sitting about 3 in from the ground.
i need the lower the rear a little bit to even the car out tho.

Best to measure the ground to fender lip height, that is what most people use. Also a good idea to keep the rear slightly higher then the front since it will drop down slightly as your driving. If you make them even while sitting still the car will look like it is squating while your driving.

That looks awesome dude. I'm about to pull the trigger on purchasing those exact coilovers. How long did it take to put in, and which write up did u use as we have the same car?

Hey Mike,

Don't they cut the front fenders higher than the rear, so it makes sense to have more wheel gap in the front? My car has more gap in the front, and when I've talked to people about lowering the front down a little more to even it out, they said there should be more gap in the front due to how they cut the fenders due to engine dive. Is this correct?

well i didnt really use a write up cuz it was actually really simple to do. its just very time consuming. imo getting the ride height how u want it took longer than the actual job it self. the whole job took around 5 hours.
