Before And After Drop

Ok, well I figure, for those who don't have a drop, we can get some before and after pics of different springs and coilovers.
Post your before and afters here too and I'll try and load em on to the first page if they go on the pages to follow. So here goes.


Here are mine.

Skunk2's

Before...



After...

Fit_Noob is an unknown quantity at this point
looks good man.
I'm actually trying to decide whether I should get Eibach's or the Skunk2 ones for my Fit when I get it.
Is there any way you could take a side picture so I could see the drop in space between the tire and frame.

K well here's the only good pic of my car before its drop


And Here's after in the back




Here's the front





If you want a real idea... from before the drop, I don't know how many fingers I could fit between the fender and the wheel, but now its 2.5 to 3 fingers in the back, and 1.5 to 2 fingers in the front. Just stick your fingers in there to see what they are without the drop

saiko- from those picts i can't really tell because your pict angle is
different. but anyway, i have like 1.5 finger gaps in the front and
1.75 finger gaps on the rear on my current setup.

it's good to have that little rake since you want more weight on
the front on a FF car. i cant see myself going any lower since
this is my dd.
