Just a tad bit firmer than stock, it handles awesome! No more airborne max taking exit ramps at unusually high speeds, it stays planted on course- of course my butt does so as well.

My only gripe is the added tire noise. Not sure if its the new wheel size or if its the tire. Anyhow I'll be skinning these before I upgrade.

Thanks for the comments gents!

I love the subtle, yet slightly more sporty look to the car now. Almost as if it were a sport package to the untrained eyes.

nice ... but i did notice the front wheel gap is considerable compared to the back. do you think that is because of the whole H&R/manual being light in the front deal?

still, nice setup.

hehe...my only remedy to a leveled look is to keep the OEM springs in the rear. When we were done with the front, and rears had'nt been touched yet it looked perfect!
Considering my first drop since I was a teenager, I'm loving it regardless, the handling benefits are there.

Sweet Manny. What a crazy day that was.

ninja edit: Those rear corners look so much better than clear. How did that transparent decal work out for the tails?

It's not going to settle any more than they already have, being they're semi-used springs and struts, they've already done did their settling.

Still looks awesome though

What you guys think? With or without the window spoiler?

I bought it years ago, looked *** on OEM car look, looked not so great once I kitted but OEM suspension and stockers it looked silly, now i think I can pull it off. Does it look aight?
