Hey, today i cut my spare set of rear coils 1 coil on each spring, i didnt touch the front springs, its sits a little more level now and the ride hasent change much, its a bit stiffer, which i like.. its strange though, the pic i took makes my rear tires look wayy bigger than when i didnt lower the car.. im guessung because its more in the wheelwell..



i can guarantee 200 percent that these pics have nto been tamerd with and are original b4 and after shots of my car.....
