What about the difference in ride, crossing speed bumps, or pulling in or out of parking lots?

-The ride is great, seems as good as factory maybe even better.
-Speed bumps i went over a few and cleared them all, on 1 of them i could hear the bottom where my exhaust scrapped the speed bump.
-Pulling into lots and out i can here the plastic bottom piece scrape every once in awhile but its better then the bumper itself.

Great looking drop, one of the better looking roadsters I've seen, love the red and black contrast.

man, that car is hot.
did you measure how much the springs actually dropped the car?
My dealer asked if they could make me a "deal" on their last 2010 roadster, sometimes i wish i had entertained their offer.

No i did not get the factory height, but right now the drop makes the car sit at about 8 inches from bottom of bumper down, and 6 inches from the little plastic piece down.
