Overall it was a pain in the ass to do, but overall it was well worth it. Love the ride and handling. Need spacers in the rear to have the wheels more flush.

Looking good! Great comparison pictures. I was thinking about getting a drop soon and just doing rear spacers on stock se's too. You see, I don't have a fortune like some of these guys who's been through 5 sets of rims! They need to spread the love and send me some wheels!

How close is the ride and handling compared to stock on a scale of 1-10?

It'll settle nicely. Expect to have less than a finger gap. I have thin fingers compared to most guys lol

Looks good but arent any of you guys worried about blowing your struts?

Thats the main thing keeping me from lowering with springs!

Thanks for the comments. It's the 2.4L 5speed manual. I'd say the ride is about 25% stiffer than stock. The main difference is that the suspension feels tighter and not sloppy over bumps. Definately livable. I've had 4 lowered cars, and this is the smoothest of them all.

The stock struts are not an issue in my mind with this spring rate. The piston on the strut is very thick and looks to be very well built.

I think spacers are needed in the rear because the wheels are too far in compared to the front.

How much did you pay for Springs/install total?

And skip the spacers, just put that money towards some nice wheels with correct offsets.

looks good. prob will want more low in future lol. i agree with skipping the spacers and getting the correct offsets. too much of a paint going through extended studs and stuff.
