Not TOO low.. but this is the day after so it still has to settle so i guess it may go down a bit more in a couple weeks.
I think with the 17"z it should look ok

This is after 2 weeks, i was told it takes about 2 weeks to settle.. and it doesnt look like it got any lower to me :S
Colin said he was using B&G springs 1.6 drop and his looks a lot lower..
i lost my digital cam. so when i get a new one ill take some better pics
i mean its lower than stock.. but not as low as i thought it would be !

also i noticed something weird
my rear passenger side strut blew so i replaced 1 strut with the KYB gr2
all the other struts are stock.. and i noticed the side i replaced is a bit heigher so
is it because the struts new maybe.. or are the kybz made a lil longer than the stock shocks?
Im going 2 replace the other ones with the KYB as well but it makes the car a little bit higher than my stock shocks do...

I say get some ground controls! I have probe/MX-6, but I have not seen the ride quality since my car doesn't run yet

It looks like a nice natural drop. It'll be lower with your summer rims, but the wheel gap will be more.

the kyb strut is not longer then stock, and even if it was it wouldnt do anything to change your ride height.

that's about as low it's gonna go. If you want more then you shouldve installed coilovers instead.
