Default before/after suspension lowering

this was brought up in another thread, thought it would be cool to start one showing suspension results. unfortunately, site is saying i have already uploaded pix on other thread even after renaming them... anyway, this is the drop thus far. was taken day of completion. will do another update in the future to show total drop.

vogtland lowering springs. $230-ish. 1.5" initial drop

Looks sweet! How's my recommendation? Hate it? Like it? The good news, you've got another 1/4" to go! The bad news is you need new rubber.

Installed Vogtland springs on my CX7. So far I love them. Ride is still good. No rubbing or scrapping issues.
