The back still doesn't seem low enough but I don't really feel like dealing with all of that for a little while.

Yea, I think your right. Still looks better than stock with how low it is on the rims. I do like those rims :)

What type of springs did you use?
SC 4psi - 305cc - Jims Fuel Upgrade - AFC NEO - 190 Walbro - Tokico/Eibach - Short Throw Shifter - FTB - RSB - K&N Filter - Greddy Evo II catback

The rims are Damon's old set.

The car is lowered on Vogtland springs and KYB struts.

let it chill out for a while. after I lowered mine, I thought it was still too
high. but with each day, it sank more and more and more.

it stopped settling after about a week.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

I assumed that it would settle a bit after some time - I'm glad to hear that is indeed the case.

It might also be due in part to the fact that my back seat is currently sitting in my friend's garage...

Very nice James! I definitely wouldn't worry about the drop, it will settle. The low pro tires always exaggerate the gap too. I still give you +1 for rockin the gen. 3.

Nice. Couldn't hurt to save the re-drop of the rear for Spring after the snow and pothole season. Or just put a few hundred pounds of sand in your trunk. insta-drop. 8)
