STi + Fortune Auto = Win
So I finally got me some of them Fortune janks 
I installed them almost 2 weeks ago, but have been trying to get the car's spring cleaning done. This weekend will be 2 weeks and they've pretty much settled, so I'll dail the ride height in exactly where I want it.
I like the way it looks now, but holy fuck it's a PITA driving it this low, and I'm not even THAT low, lol. Optimal performace height is 14 inches in the front and 13.5 in the back (from center of hub to fender), I'm probably about 13.25/12.75. The parking garage where I normally take pics... I pretty much can't get in or out of it now and it doesn't even have a crazy dip or anything. 2x I've had to turn around and go to the other side of a parking lot cause I couldn't go out of one side. I'm clueless on how people (like Uzi) can drive around with the car sitting on the ground.
BTW you'll notice something under my car in some of the pics, it's my downpipe wrap coming apart. Alot of it came off when it snowed since I don't have an undertray. I meant to take care of it when put the coilovers on, but somehow didn't notice it until I had already lowered the car and put it back on the ground. Now that it's lowered it's near impossible to get it on the jack stands. This weekend when I perfect the ride height I'll take care of it. I wish I had before the pics as it does kind of take away from them, but oh well.
Enjoy.

Brah you need way more poke and slam and gotta stretch those tires and roll the fenders so everytime you hit a bump you bend them out a little more. Only then will it be dope-status approved.
