I'm considering dropping the car this spring. There are dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens...you get the point...of threads of people asking about lowering and what to get but no pics. To hear what to get is one thing, to see pics is another. What I'd like to do is get a concise centralized thread started that could answer everyone's questions (and mine) without even asking mainly because of pics. Could all who've dropped whether springs, coilovers, or whatever post here with the following please (these seem to be the most popular and important)

1/ PICTURES!! Three after to be precise, as low to the ground as possible in optimal light conditions so shadows don't obscure the gap. One straight from the side, one from the front angle, and one from the rear angle. This would be a perfect example, http://www.tein.com/tech_info/p60.html

2/ What it's lowered on, and the ride quality vs sock and experience with it.

3/ What size rims you're on, and if you're on different size or low profile tires.

4/ If you changed from a different setup and why.

5/ if you had to do any extra work on control arms, camber, alignment or anything due to the change.

6/ Your cost (if you don't mind).

7/ (for me personally), winter experience and dealing with high snow and parking, traveling with a shovel or whatever.

Please contribute.

Quick note, some of you might have some amazing rims (because I know this is going to come up), or modifications caught in the pic; if people have questions about them can they please pm the person or start a different thread.

We already have a thread for this...

official-suspension-thread-t503080.html

Please post there, update posts, etc. and keep that thread current. With all due respect, please let this thread slowly get phased out by that one...
