Looks great! I know you live in NYC (I live right next to it across the river ) so I know the roads can be bad sometimes but you should really stick with the H&Rs it looks perfect on your ride. I have H&Rs on my GT and the ride can be a little more bumpy but just push it down into Comfort or Normal and it feels like a stock suspension. And the aggressive drop looks quite mean IMHO.

BXBOY, I would have changed the profile of the tires before I messed with the H&R drop. The ACS drop is nill. Don't waste your money, I've been there and done that.
H&R is the way to go.

P.S. You should get the the sidemarkers and the chrome on the door handles done is matte/gloss black. I know a couple guys who vinyl wrap/ Plastdip. PM me if your interested.

This is what happens when you rush and dont do enough homework lol I should have taken my time and ordered the right tires and springs and would be enjoying my ride, instead now im doing stuff all over Its okay, live and learn. I am going to put the order in my for ACS springs today and already got myself the 12mm front spacers. Lets see how it is from there. I will definitely be blacking out the chrome on the handles. The guy who did my roof is going to do it. I have the black sidemarker too. Just need to find some time to replace. When all is done, lets get that shoot done lol |

There is nothing wrong per say. If BXBOY is worried about the NYC
Roads, the profile would surely help.

Thank you Enzo. Im placing the order for my ACS springs today. I'm hoping that ride is the ride that Im looking for with just enough of a drop. I can always switch up the profiles and add some rubber if need be.

I have acs and I dont feel much of a difference in ride quality, had H&R on my old 3 and going over any type of bumps, pot holes etc. felt like my high school days of riding in hondas with cut springs, just nasty. The drop is not much though, especially the front which still has about a 2-3 finger gap but I'm actually fine with it because I'm not scraping my bumpers when I park up against those cement stoppers like I use to with the 3.
