Looks good!

What suspension are you running. I could be wrong but are you just using Tein S springs? looks very low.

Ive been going through the search engine and when I search Tein S springs, ive seen a few posts of yours

Im thinking about using these springs for my Impreza, ideally I want the lowest springs I can get (just for the looks really)

What is the ride like? is it bone crunching, or not to far off standard?

Why do you want to go down the coilover route? Im assuming for better handling rather then just looks?

I had a look at the Tein springs and supposedly they lower the car by 25-30mm...surely yours is lowered more than that, or have you just had a trip to the builders merchants
