I...
Kinda...
Like it.
Yeah, the mods were shoddy, but when you do not have your parents bank account at your disposal, you have to make do with what you got. Not to the point of endangering everyone around with out right retarded mods...
But, it's all a learning experience.
Jalopnik blew this way out of proportion.
I also have a question. Why an em2? Not much aftermarket support. It would have been much cheaper and a lot safer(Hell of a lot) to have gone with a car with a huge aftermarket.
(Oh god... I am going to get flamed for this...)

Got the car basically for free and it was all crispy oem. I put a few thousand miles on my first setup with no problems and with my new setup all the weight of the vehicle is below the shock tower but still with the extended hats.

It looks raked and there's only pictures of the front so far so I bet the back isn't even lowered and judging from the pictures provided I doubt your frame rails are that low even even though that's not low.... Dude extended top hats don't even lower your car thu just save your struts by making it less compressed.... So just but gc extended top hats and gc sleeves and call it a day
