Damn...that is gonna be a niced dumped look. Your in a perfect state for it....weather wise (San Antonio Texas). 1.7" Front & 1.7" Rear.

Do you have the OEM skirt package?

What rims are you running or plan to roll on?

Can't wait to see the pic!

Only the eibach sportline of 2.0" & 1.8" give the lowest spring dump overall.

Please try and get the rear view of the car too!

Damn...can't wait for the pics man. 1.7" front & rear is gonna really do this car good especially the naturally high ass end.

Please take pics of the front, side and rear or the car on a nice level surface.

Are you gonna install them yourself or take it to a shop?

DON'T ORDER A NEW AXLE!!! Just wiggle it back in. Trust me, it takes a while. It took me n about 45 minutes to attempt to get the drivers side to pop back in. Then while i was being frustrated i called my 15 yr old brother 2 come hlep (he loves working on my car w/ me, runs in the family) and he tried it for 5 minutes and he got it! I'm tellin ya it takes a while. Put a jack under the lower control arm to lift it up to straighten out the axle w/ the tranny. =]

The stylized photos are nice and all, but they don't help much to see the difference in drop when compared to your first photo. I'd like to A/B them, but can't do that with the photos you've provided.

yeah i kinda saw that after i posted but i thought id just put them up anyways. im at work right now but when i get home more photo's will be taken so you can better see the drop. for those wondering about ride quality and scraping issues.

the ride quality is good although you can feel a difference from stock.i havent hit anything with my lip yet so i guess thats also a plus

Hey....do you have some flat land stance camera pics? I've been dying to see this 1.7" allround drop?

Just normal side shots, front shots and of course the rear!

I'm assumming you've been carving up corners on the streets. When I first put H&R's on my Protege 5 back in the day I began testing my cornering limits. 80km/hr left hand turns at major intersections and 50km/hr right hand turns.

haha actually no i dont take turns at all in this car, i baby this car shift at 3k and barley even gas it, unless i need to get infront of someone to pass them up other than that i dont do anything in this car but cruise.

i take all my hardturns in my hatch cornering ability i think is better in the hatch lighter and smaller but thats just me
