Did you measure the ride height before and after?

Centre of wheel to wheel arch?

I am interested in teh real amount of drop in mm.

did you just swap the springs out and use the standard shocks?

Or did you do new shocks aswell?

Did you need a camber kit or anything like that?

How much were the springs?

I'm running +25 offset front and back with no rubbing. Lowered a bit more than you and front guards rolled. To be safe stick to +30.

It looks really nice! great work. i was thinking of getting some, do you really need aftermarket shocks or can you use stock shocks? well for now?

you can use stock shocks ? you should buy bilstein or koni shocks and get fitted at same time
