All-

Thanks for the compliments.

James-

Once springs are fully settled the amounted lowered should be:

Front ~1.25"
Rear~.75-1.00"

Just the right amount for what I was looking for. And I can tell a big difference in handling.

Looks nice. I don't see much of a drop though. What springs did you use? Just curious...

Black rims with polished lip--I like!

When I put my springs on it took a few days for it to settle. Is that the case Jason or is that pretty much it?

Yes, they should settle about another .25", which would be ~1.1" in front, and ~.75" in the rear. I used Vogtland Springs.

The tires are 35 series so the combo I have is actually shorter that stock, so that adds to the wider gap. I plan on going with 40 series tires once these need replacing, which should be perfect for the look/feel I wanted.

I have the Eibachs and the cornering was like night and day, solid flat with almost no roll, point and shoot as a buddy said. Now remember that I said I love the look of the car because I do and I'm even jealous but have you had anyone say it looks like a stealth pumpkin?? I'm sorry, I can't help myself at times.

LOTS . . .

Next will be exhaust, or painting the hood . . then gears, and welded subframes, CC plates, bilstein shocks/struts. After all that . . over next year. I'll sit on her (if I can) until the warranty starts to die down.

Unless I get an impulse and purchase something for the heck of it!

Just don't put a candle inside of it.
:nono:

ECU tune . . . In time my young padawan.

Sub-frames will be on before ECU Tune. But I really want the Stinger's. I've been distracted far too long.
