Well, the springs and struts were replaced, so in that sense it was "dropped." Check this closeup of the front wheel--you can tell it's a bit lower than stock--maybe an inch. Also, the photos were likely taken the day of the installation, before settling. I'll inquire with the owner as to how it settled...

The rims make a difference in looks as well. Seems like 17" or bigger rims will make the drop more noticeable.

too bad all tein springs are progressive :'( makes me so sad. I got the response back from Tein USA the other day. The spring rates they quote are the spring rates at 1G.. even for cars that can't ever hit 1g even with their springs >_<

coilovers or bust!
