I thought it looked fine at the stock height but dropping it makes the car look really boss.

Just for the rear, or for the front as well?

How much was the kit?

Thx,

I did both front and rear. I did not have to roll the fenders the cost of just the rims where 1100.00. I did have to put on a camber kit b/c my wheels were way out and couldn't get them back to spec without the kit.

Hmm.. so how much was the camber kit? Do I absolutely need the camber kit no matter what suspension upgrade I choose to lower the car? I'm thinking about Tein FLEX coilover or HKS Hypermax II and drop the car about an inch or so but I'm concerned about its big nagative camber angle that would cause tire feathering and harm the car's performance.
Also, Which one is the most affordable and reasonable?

It depends on the car tire size wheel size and drop, I deffinetly needed it. I let it settle and my rear tires were just ugly. the front were okay. but the car was so lower they couldn't even do a caster sweep. The kit was 440 but i should have gone with lsdunique he made a very cost effective and high quality kit. I think his price is 220

just the rear, I don't think you can adjust the front.

Did the understeer inprove or get worse with the wider rear tires? Specifically you seem to be running narrower front tires and wider rears (So much for rotation). Better handling or worse? Thoughts?
