I'm running tanabae gf210 springs and I can tell you it is not "raked" like that. Are you sure you installed them correctly. I did my springs myself, just asking in case you had someone else put them in an incorrectly install them.

hha no i did it myself and i have done MANY installs...im thinking its cuz i run a wider then ordinary tire for the size rim and my rear bumper is tucked...might give it that appearance...but it handles fine and i kinda like it...so im not going to try and change it

front of the car looks good with the side reflectors filled in.. not a big fan of the panda look though but it's your car not mine..

as for the pictures they look like snapshots.. a little bit overexposed in a couple of them.. you should read up about "rule of thirds" and photo composition if you want to improve upon them..

I'd do something to blend that CF hatch to the rest of the car. Get the pillars and possibly a roof overlay as well. A grille would look good too.
