The yellows dropped you an inch and a half right? Must look great, did it stiffen up your suspension a lot?

The yellows are only about a 10mm drop from stock (0.6"). Subtle, but noticeable. Suspension is stiffer but more composed and predictable. My mother who has a bad back has no problem riding in my car. You'll love the spring+sways setup, car handles so much better than stock.

Blacks actually don't really give any drop since the '11 are already lower than the 08-10. I think in one case they even raised someone's car.

For reference, here's a recent pic of my car
