you can barely tell the difference, but the front definitely lowered. Now my N1 dual scrapes on some big speed bumps, but only on the first muffler, where it splits into two. This is as low as I want to get. I got it from a guy from Union City, thanks again Edward. He got N1 coilovers, for $900, lucky fool, his is very low, and with the N1 dual, and front chin spoiler too.

Definite improvement on cornering, not too bumpy, but smoother than stock. Just need better shocks to accompany it to make it work as it's supposed to.

Listed, the Pro Kits will lower 1.2&quot; up front and 1&quot; at the rear.

He got the coilovers used, but in excellent condition.

My car color is called Silver Moss Metallic.

Thanks for the feedback! My next mission is audio system <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Hey I lowered my 97 240 with Sparco`s and the back looks slammed but the front looks up into the sky anyone know why? THanks

Don't know much about lowering cars but i'm guessing your rear camber's off so it's lower in the rear...??dunno i'm guessing

That is one of the best b/f and after pic sets I've seen. &nbsp;I hope someone with server rights (hint West, Transient), saves this so it could be used later in a mods page or something! &nbsp;Looks really good... and a height that can be lived with in an urban area.

As for those with high fronts, I've heard this is a common problem with JDM springs (and others that lower more than 1.5&quot;). &nbsp;Maybe b/c of the style there and maybe b/c they assume you will be getting a front camber correction kit (which usually takes it down another .5 - .75&quot;).

You know, I've heard a couple also say that after installing the Pro-kits on their S14, that they didn't see much of a difference....I can't say the same...I could tell a huge difference when I installed mine...installed my Tokiko Blues at the same time, but wouldn't think that would have any effect or not....I should be getting the Cusco camber plates for the front and by what I was told, it should lower the car another .75 of an inch
