I just put mine on Today. I don't have pics yet but I'll take some tomorrow and try to post them for you. It is around a two finger gap in the back and slightly more of a gap in the front. I'm hoping it will settle a little more, but it is definately a big improvement over stock.

Still didn't get any pictures taken today. I was really busy. Tomorrow I don't have much going on so I'll definately take pics and post them tomorrow.

Hmm. I have some on my other computer. I'll post them tomorrow. It's with the stock 16's tho. I've had mine on for a while now, they've settled some..

Click on "my pics" and then my velica album. Go to the bottom and the two last pics are of the drop with my new Hotchkis springs. I tried just posting the pic in another thread and it wouldn't show so someone else can do it or just look in my album.

Damn cbr600drm, that looks a little higher than I expected. Are the wheel gaps on GT's the same as on GT-S's? Cause I've got some Hotchkis springs on the way and I was hoping for more of a drop than that. I went out and measured on my car and it seems like they should be lower according to the drop specs for the springs. Maybe it's just me being paranoid. It's still a huge improvement over stock. Car looks good.

I'm not sure if the wheel gaps are exactly the same or not. It shouldn't be much different. When I took those two pics I had just jacked the car up to put the wheels on, let it down rolled it out and took the pics. It probably would have settled a little more if I had driven it, and the springs may settle a little more since they've only been on for two days.

I got it working so here it is
