Yes, welcome!

Looks great! But, how's the ride on that? I had Eibach Pro Springs on my '03 GT and it was a little bit bumpy.

Are you going to add a strut and spring package?

Do I have to show a pic of my shaker, too? OK, you twisted my arm:

The ride is okay. Definately feel the road. One of the streets I live off of has a bunch of potholes concentrated on one side. They are constantly getting filled, but the material just pops back out a couple days later. Right now the holes have been patched up, but I've still been driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid the area do to the roughness. Other then a road like this, the ride is fine. Kinda hard for me to describe it, but I can tell you that I'm happy with the springs and wouldn't go back. It really helped cosmetically...love the look.

From what I've read, aftermarket struts/shocks will help the ride from being so "busy". The stock struts/shocks aren't designed to operate where we lower our cars to (especially yours). I'm going to get a FRPP set sometime in the future. It does make the car look much better when lowered!

lol thats what I figured. On the sn-95's you needed them with drop of more than an inch and a half. And by springs trooper. I meant silver springs in ocala. 700 cars already preregistered. First 1k get in free.

That is the perfect stance IMO. Beautiful scenery too!
