Sick ride. But why must all the sick Cabrios be autos? It's sad really. I love the interior the two tone is pimp.

I was gonna say your next mod was lowered suspension, then I saw the big problem with the interior, the lever. Replace it with a knob, looks 100x better. It's not that hard, you'll need to add a 3rd pedal and replace parts of the drivetrain. Big difference though.

Thanks guys for the compliments.
I would love to have had a 5 speed but when I found the car I couldn't resist the other factors. It only had 72K on it when I bought it 3 yrs ago. Was very well maintained, southern car, LOVED the color, that's what sold me.
Believe it or not when you go thru the gears on the auto it's kinda fun and it is very responsive. I am getting used to driving it as a clutchless standard! :)
I usually have 1 project at a time. Next is dropping it as you guys suggested. It's on my list.
Thx again for the kudos.
Happy Spring!!

A few more shots

Okay, so I can't help it!!! I have to show some more!

Suspension

Ok, so... what do you guys recommend for a lowering package?
I use the car as a daily driver, no track action. I enjoy spirited drives thru the twisties but most of my driving is back & forth to work on the highway.
I'm not looking for a stiff jaw chattering ride but more the look of the drop.
Any suggestions for a middle of the road setup? Comfort & drop look?

I'm new but I have a feeling everyone is going to say Bilstein sports and H&R sports. Maybe this will be my first correct answer? Haha

[Mysticguy]

Any other suggestions

Any other recommendations on spring/shock combo?
Firm but comfortable ride while having a nice drop.
