Thanks guys, I will try and get better pics this weekend. I am really thinking about getting the bc coilovers but you guys say this is normal, I just think the back sits to low. Anyone with the prokit have pics so I can see what yours looks like?

lol I really do not think you have a problem here. That looks completely fine, springs look nice, nice work.

i guess if you want the front lower, you should probably get coilovers or adjustable struts. but in all honesty, thats the way neons look when lowered.

I see what you mean with the rear, but I like it over all. Nice looking springs. Clean install. How does it ride?

it's obvious the drop it's bigger in the rear than in the front, but i think it's just perfect. i wasn't sure if to go for the pro-kit or the sportline. this is my everyday drive, so i'm glad i got the pro-kit. it's the perfect compromise beetwen smooth and sport, i think if it would be any lower, it would shake u up way too much. i'm in florida for now, the streets are ok, but in a couple of weeks i'll go back in Cape Cod, so i'll see how it works over there(not to bumpy i hope). anyway, i hope thr pics help.

Looks nice. It looks much better dropped. Now I see how much different it makes the car look. How long have you had them on?

i've had them since february, and in this time they almost killed the oem struts. and i'm starting to hate how it rides right now. but i'm gonna get the blue tokicos really soon, along with a bushings kit and new tires. i really hope the new struts are gonna make it better.
