I like the drop... mild. It looks like the car sits level now. I prefer the slight rake the stock suspension has. Your car looks great with a few of the mods I'd like to do to mine. Good to know that you can get rid of the floatiness on the highway without ruining the ride. I assume most of that would be the shocks. Nice looking ride.

Might look into it. I like my rear stance so i'd like the front to be 1/2 in higher and keep the existing 1 " rear drop but with my actual set up, i won't have the choice but to lower the rear 1/2 inch. Do they make 1/2" drop coils !

I don't have a brembo car, but after reading a bit I think it's a characteristic of the stock springs on your car.

Bought GT500 mounts, the stock ones fell apart when I took the struts apart. I would advise not using them if you can avoid it. They are really cheap in comparison to the GT500's.
