The drop really brings out the spaced look.

Have you scraped the exhaust with this setup? I have Berks too and am a little concerned about scraping the low point on the exhaust.

This review makes me want to drop my car too. Me old knees keep me from this though.

I scrape my chin spoiler as it is, every day. What is it like for the guys who really drop them?

They really rub. Angles are your best friend but if your slammed some obstacles become impossible. The swift springs are perfect IMO.

Joshs09slvrZ, looking good bro!

I was a little worried about scraping because the exhaust does hang kind of low just in front of the muffler...but I've gone over some decent sized speed bumps and haven't heard anything either (and that's with going over it slow with the radio off and windows down).

Nope...they were able to get the alignment back to within specs I am ok with. I'm totally ok with a little extra camber in the back than what the spec is.

Nice Josh!

How would you rate the ride with stock shocks. Still comfy?
