I wonder how the fronts would look on my car. I want to get rid of that wheel gap in the front, but not lose any performance or balance in the car

can't change height without changing balance, especially with a front only drop. changing the balance was part of my plan when I dropped the front... i guess really it all just depends on your goals. you've got options... lol

BTW, this conversation took place this morning:
I had a ricer pull up to me at a stoplight and the following conversation took place:
Ricer: "Nice STi."
Me: "its a Mazda dude."
Ricer: "No its not, thats a Subaru"
Me: "Its a Mazdaspeed Protege. Its my car I think I'd know what it was"
Ricer: "It looks like a STi and sounds like an STi man."
Me: "Well you look like a queer and sound like a queer. Are you a queer?"
Light turns green...

Yeah I get that part, I mean I don't want a drastic change because of the higher spring rate. Am I safe to assume that with a higher front spring rate, I will experience a little bit more understeer? That's no bueno
That looks pretty damn good actually. Ughhh... decisions decisions

Some guy in an old automatic Civic hatch. Body kit, paint, rims, fart can. Prolly shouldn't have called him a queer, but I'm getting tired of the subaru comments...

your car is still stock looking right?
i dont see the resemblance at all... maybe the larger wing thing. no scoop though.

Alex, that s*** is tight. btw, i might have figured out your issue with water in the passenger footwell.
and jeff, you have ion springs, put them on..

Sorry for the size but just to give some ideas... this is what Illuminas on stock springs look like. I was going to get some springs here in the near future because (even though I am broke most of the time) I am tired of seeing my car with a reverse raked stance. It's not horrible (and in fact might not be raked but the difference in size of the wheel wells makes it appear that way). I've never heard of iON springs. I was thinking Tein S-Techs or Eibach Sportlines. Probably Tein though. I'll have pictures when I eventually get them but this is what Illuminas do to the rear. I have no sub box, and nothing really weighing my rear end down.

I always show this off to show the difference:
MSP stock springs with Illuminas:
My old car with Tokico HPs and MP3 springs:
Old car with Espelirs:
^^ That is the day after installation too. They settled a bit more than that

lol. that's what i was reading about, where i came to that conclusion.
does it mean it's bad? or just clogged or something?
