The drop is perfect right now. You can get the same drop with Comptech Coilovers. There is no bounce with the Tein suspension, especially with the 3+inch drop. It rides like my car is at stock height. My Cwest front has some scratches underneath but that's like any bumper you have that low. The paint job was done really well since there are still no chips or cracks. As for clearance, well there is not much. LOL
I can still go over speedbumps. I can still go everywhere I want except a couple of fast food places. Anyway thanks again for the comments.

I like the CWest kit the most....makes the car look wider.

Yeah but your Comptech Coilovers can only go so far. I know, I had them. I can have my car sitting on the ground with absolutely no clearance(for car shows). You couldn't even put a dorito chip under the front or the sides. Every part of the kit would be touching the ground. Of course I couldn't drive it anywhere but you get the point. In the photos you show I am about 1 inch lower. Your almost there. LOL

Awesome. How does it handle? Is it as good as stock or better with that suspension.
