Just got it back from the shop after an alignment. Volk wheels and lowering springs.

Looks nice.

What kind of springs? What's your initial reaction to the lowered stance? Does it feel more planted with a lower C of G?

H&R springs. I haven't drove it hard enough yet to know how it handles. I bought the springs from someone on the market place new for $200. I figure I'm not out that much if I don't like it.

Did you install other parts (dog bones, etc) to compensate for alignment or is the drop not significant enough to matter? Looks good by the way.

I asked the shop to call me if they couldn't get it within spec. I don't know what the spec is, but here is the alignment report. Maybe someone could look at this and tell me if it's good.
