I just lowered my car on H&Rs today and noticed that they did cut the rubber sheath that covers the shocks (I believe) but didn't notice and rubber spacers removals.

Photos are acting up but seems like H&R are our only option and seem to be doing well.

Lowering with H&R is the way to go. Looks so much better. Beware I am having an issue with a small clanking noise in the rear when going over speed bumps. It's definitely hitting something. I need to have the car looked at. I had a reputable shop do the work. They mentioned something about having to order new rubber booties or something like that. Good luck.

That's the cap to a spray can...just wanted to have something to compare before and after to. The after photo is also the front wheel gap which is slightly larger than the rear.
