Default Installed Sportlines and did the Spingmount Mod

I did this in about 2 and 1/2 hours yesturday with help of my friend.
This is so easy to do with the correct tools
Eibach Sportlines lowers the car 1.2" all around( got about 2" drop all around and their not even settled)

I Did the "Springmount Mod" Cuted about 1/2 ~ 3/4 inch




This is What it looks like in the Rear


The front was a Pain... Had to remove so much stuff in order to take out the shock -_-



Before


After


I have no finder gap what so ever nor do i rub since im running on stock tires. I am scraping tho but barely on bumps.
I need spacers on the Front/Rear (not sure which specs 15/25?), until i get some rims

I agree with your sentiment. I used wood blocks under the garage jack points instead of jack stands, but still. When I'm changing wheels I'll use the factory scissor jack (IMO more secure than a hydraulic floor jack) simply because I'm not really under the car. Anything more invasive, though, and I'm on blocks or stands.

I went with 20nm front and 25nm rear. Pretty flush with the fenders. If you stay with your stock wheels you may even want a little more on the rear. My front stick out a little more than the rear but is hardly noticeable

Yea well i was kind of worried not using jack stands but thank god everything went well... I followed the DIY thread on here, it was pretty straight forward and im happy with my drop. Would love to be lower in the front atleast 1/2" but this will do for now as for the spacer i think im going to go with 15/25 and wait till early next year for some varrstoen rims +12

Looks good, now you need spacers. Like above said, next time use stands. No offense, but your spelling is horrible.

Bouncy bouncy, you should have changed the shocks out when you did the drop.

Practice makes perfect. Just take your time and learn your mistakes.

Give them a few thousand miles. Lowering springs will wear the struts out quick, especially ones that lower the car a lot.
