What kind of headlights are those?

Btw, I have the same springs, they are good. Did you use spring compressors to install it or did u let the car's weight decompress/compress the springs?

These came with the car, I got the monogram series. And spring compressors, didn't want to take a chance lol.

Did you install those on the stock struts?

with stock struts it is a bit bouncy on average roads and downright harsh on bad conditioned roads (socal, seattle, etc)..

but the drop is damn sexy, should have been stock from the factory w/ either 1" or 1.2" drop.. Will be putting up a review of the b8 bilsteins and them as well, installed them a little over 1k ago, want to get some seat time with them to give a well-founded review

Oh, didn't know about the monogram series.

I didn't use Spring compressors for my install, the install was actually super easy not having to use spring compressors.

Actually not I bad tho, I live in an area where the roads are pretty shitty lol especially after this winter.. But you definitely feel more bumps then stock that's for sure but it's not bad at all, I haven't really noticed much difference in handling tho.

give it awhile you'll start to notice, especially if the springs are new.. have to let them settle in

been on sportlines for 7k now, 1k of that with bilstein's and I'll never go back, wholly recommend down the line.. For now enjoy them with the stockers!

I have them installed also.

(My Winter Tires On raising the car for more ground clearance.)

Feel great during autocross and at the track. I noticed the car has a higher threshold for lateral movement but will step out quicker if over the limit which is due to less spring to help soak. Ride is bumpier but racecar.

You're a lot braver than I am. That much of a drop on the stock struts is going to stress them pretty hard. You might want to budget for replacements in the not too distant future just in case.

stock struts are a dime a dozen.. I have two full sets in my garage in case anyone wants to buy extra stockers.. $50 each + shipping.. 5k or less on both sets

Looks good. These are the same as the TRD springs correct?
