    Looks good, I'm still thinking about which route I should take when I do my suspension. How does it feel? How much of a drop?

        My bud has the same setup on his car, handles amazing and has in my opinion the perfect amount of drop (the setup has been on his car for a few years now and has plenty of time to settle). Mind you if you live in an area with shitty roads, your not going to like it.

          i saw those springs at the junk yard....but some asshole had taken off the drivers side front strut assembly, and took that one spring with him, rendering the other 3 useless... :?

                  I'm running the same set-up. What do you think of it? When I switched to bilsitens the ride improved greatly, but the bavarian autosport springs arent as low as id like, and I made the mistake of getting a set of cabrio springs (ebay). I only paid 120 for them rear were brand new fronts 3k miles, but the rear springs are cut higher for cabrios. So my car sits higher in the rear (took out spring pads and it sat a bit lower).

                  get some side shots, Id like to compare ride hieghts. Let me know what you think, I can really push my car hard in the corner. Id like to get strut bar, and some poly bushings. I need new control arm bushings too.

                        Cool.. It still has to settle so it may go down a bit. If you took pads out you would probably tuck tire a little bit. Its still a bit lower than mine from the side. I have noticable gap depending on how I park it. Usually when its on a level road i've got gap.

                        Is that an m-tech1 front spoiler? I like it.

                              Whoa, they are the softest lowering springs available, and the Bilsteins are no doubt better riding than Koni SAs. If you think that's stiff...:?
