Default LG Drop Spindles installed - Lowered 1" (Pics)

I had my LG Drop Spindles installed which lowered the car 1" all around. What do you think about the stance now? Too low or just right?

By the way, I got these from Jhonathan @ JW Motoring.

Looks good. But remember that you don't have the same clearance, Clarence.

Looks great!

With the drop spindles, do you keep your stock suspension travel?

Yes, that is exactly why I spent the money on them.

I have the F55 suspension and I was afraid to use the lowering bolts too much because I didn't want to possibly cause damage to the shocks by limiting their travel.

Basically, the drop spindles just have the holes where the wheels go moved higher up by 1". Moving the wheels up doesn't change any of the suspension connection points but in essence drops the car by 1".

Looks good, but I would bring the back down just a smidge!
