Very nice car. Regarding the lowering, forget what people tell you about ride height relative to "looking better". If you want the coil overs to perform properly, make sure your shop sets the ride height according to the heights specified in the H&R installation instructions. They are very clear on that and give you a vary narrow adjustment range of 10mm. There is not a lot of leeway regarding ride height. And yes, you are missing the factory rear spacers. That is why the rear wheels look so tucked in.

**Setting range for H&R street performance coil over 29462 ( distance between the center of the strut mounting screw and the upper edge of the spring seat)

Front: 110-120mm
Rear: 235-245mm

Good advice and I'm sure it will look better when set correctly.

Default Coil overs

They are good. Firm but not bouncy, much better since we set the ride height to proper specs.
