The mods look good! Well done. Is your pass. qtr panel messed up a little bit? Get that fixed and detail it real good and you've got a phenomenal car.

Yeah, with it lowered and having those 18's, your car looks sickening! Did you have to pound in the inner wheel well in the back to prevent rubbing?

That thing sits awesome. What type of springs are they? I want to buy them right now. Is it an 1" or 1.5" drop?

they are summit brand springs, with shipping the set me back like $170 so they were cheap and they may have droped it down over 1.5 im not sure. its actually lower now because the springs are breaking in.

do you need other minor mods to accompany springs?

The only completely required mod would be an adjustable panhard rod. This part will recenter the rear end after the lowered ride height changes suspension angles that will cause the rear to sit off center. For the optimum ride, you should have some better valved shocks in order to control the springs.
