Congrats Shahid! They'll settle even more over the next couple of weeks.

you don't see it anyways...

looks good bro

Masa · 09-17-2011, 07:35 PM

Looks good man. Mine didn't fully settle until about a week and a half after install. Hold off on alignment till then.

Thanks for giving me such a great deal on them!

You can't really see the drop much in those photos, but in person you definitely notice it. I'll get some updated pics once it settles and I get the alignment done.

If it was that easy I would have done it already

no sense fixing the bumper after lowering the car

Oh yeah I need to get used to driving a lowered car now. I foresee some more bumper incidents

Red__Zed · 09-17-2011, 09:24 PM

you will get plenty of these-- rash on left side, missing air dams, etc...unless you learn to angle.

And then you'll do what I did and lower the car even more, and even angling won't save you

b1adesofcha0s · 09-17-2011, 09:27 PM

I already have rushes on both sides of the bumper and my air dams are sitting in my room. They were never installed and no point in doing it now. Luckily I don't really have any uphill driveway or speed bumps I deal with regularly so I should be ok most of the time.
