Thanks for the opinions guys, good and bad.
Just to clarify, it is a daily driver 50+ each day. Where i live in Florida we have pretty smooth roads. The rear tires are 1" shorter than the original 16's, the fronts are 3" shorter. The springs are not cut or modified, they are short springs from belltech so the spring rate is close to stock. Yes the ride is somewhat firmer but it is still comfortable to drive.
Which shocks did you use? Also, you used those light Porshe wheels. Were you intending to lower unsprung weight? Did you do anything else suspension wise, like tubular A-arms?

The shocks are KYB gas charged. Those "light" Porsche wheels weigh more than the originals that came off. The suspension is just the Belltech drop springs and rear flip kit
