Could You guys PLEASE!
Post some pics of lowered 8's with either the espelir or Tein springs and have the OEM lip kit and factory rims still on. This is the set-up of my car and I want to see some pics of 8's that also have the same set-up. I want to lower it but not make so low that I will be hitting everything in my path. I would REALLY appreciate it guys, Thanks.

Here is a pic of my buds 8 next to mine for 2 months ago. The 2nd Black 8 in the pic has Tein S springs.... Look at the wheel wells compaired to the other 8's in the pic. I have those on my car now too plus the bling. Hope this helps.

yea i have the mazdaspeed exhaust. From what i've gathered teins offeres the lowest drop out there (besides sprint which is a ridiculous 2.5 inch drop rendering the top of your tires invisible). The drop on the teins based on there website are 1.4 in front and .08 in the back. The front is accurate, but rear was the same.

Man 
Now I cant decide if I want the Teins or the Espelir's. Did you trim the Bumpstop? If so how much? If you didnt have you hit it? And I know I have asked you this before but do you ever hit that little plastic skid thing our cars have?

I drove w/o trimming to bumpstop for a while and it felt the same til when i had it trim. The ride quality is the same. No i've never had any rubbing issues of any sort going over speed bumps of driveways.

Thanks. Yeah I was hoping you had a pic of you of the front as if you were standing infront of it and taking a big of while squatting. But you have been a lot of help.
Do you think I should get springs or the exhaust first?

I think that's something you should probably try to figure out on your own. Both are just basically appearance mods. I did all mine technically the same time, if you're not too nitpicky about things you can a set of springs from ebay for 130$ max, and get a used exhaust system on the for sale section. just a suggestion...
