Not bad looking. Black out the roof.

See My MANDATORY Black Out Guide HERE!

Use, Plastic Dip, Paint, or Black Vinyl

Nice ride bro! OK, is it just me or do the 2nd gens sit higher when stock compared to 1st gens? My 1st gen is on s-techs and it looks like it's dropped lower than your Xrs...

In my opinion, handling feels better than stock. About bottoming out, that's something we can't avoid when lowering more than 2 inches. I had an 05 corolla with these s-techs and got the same results as the matrix.

I noticed that too! , also the handling is a bit weird with stock springs and 18' wheels.

No need to tweak your suspension, just installation and that's it. It sits as a corolla S 2005. I posted pics above...
