In order to get up on a car lift i have to jack my car up a bit to fit.
If i would have known i would have never gotten H&R Springs and i would have just saved for coilovers. but it does look so sexy, im loving it.

also, speed bumps scare the sh*t out of me, especially the little rubber yellow ones

here are a few pics of it after about a month i installed them, so they are fully settled
Is that Montauk>? If it is i seen you in east hampton (im a UPS driver out there)

No. H&R's are the lowest springs you can get.

To the OP, looks good man. They are only going to get lower and you'll learn how to drive that low real quick

one thing that sucks when going low is that you can't drive fast because it will be too late once you hit that pothole or bump.

first. dont go to the dealer to get an oil change, they will charge you a fortune and they dont use synthetic oil

second. i went to the dealer for my 7,500 mile maintenance two months ago and they told me the drop looks sick, except when they were pulling my car into the elevator it bottomed out. they will only give you a problem if you have a problem in the car that was caused by the drop.

Well if you got a deal then go for it... I got my first oil change at infiniti of manhatten because they gave me a coupon for a free service+oil change, but i have been doing it myself ever since.

i would also be worried about the splitter, sometimes even backing out of my own driveway i scrape the front bumper. Just when you take it in be sure to point out that there is no damage on the splitter and check it when you pick your car up.

i just think its funny that my car has to be jacked up in order to fit on the lift, slammed is the way to go.
