New rims with HFP suspension kit

Hey guys, well i finally slapped on my rims and hfp suspension kit that have been sittin at my house for about a month or so waiting for the weather to clear up. The rims are 18x8.5 +45 Kazeras wrapped in 225/40/18 Pirellis. I figured id snap some pictures in my garage and post em but they came out pretty shitty cuz i had to turn the flash off so ill have to go take some betters ones durin the day tomorrow. I would just like to send out a special thanks to Soxfan143 for puttin all this shit on. Comments are more than welcomed. My next mods will be the hfp lip kit and yellow fogs. Enjoy....

BTW yes my parking spot number is 69.....hahah.....







EDIT:

thanks guys....ya the drop is perfect....its def stiffer but for me its a combination of new tires and new suspension so i dont know which contributes more but the handling and responsiveness of the car has improved tremendously....naw no camber kit

Can you get us side shots? I'm thinking of doing this SAME exact set up, except maybe w/ a smaller offset. I'm not exactly sure. Do you have the progressive rear swaybar? I heard it will help a ton!
