^ love the stance. I have the same SR springs and was a bit skeptical about installing as I don't want the car too low, but that looks exactly right. Good to see it on the GB as well, it's nearly my identical car.
Everything go in easily? Hope you enjoy the ride... interested to hear your thoughts as I am going to get the Koni yellows as well and have a BMR panhard bar (looiks like you have the same?).

My car has 19" wheels stock right now but I plan on going to a staggered set of 20"s. I'm planning on a set of Shelby Razors in gun metal grey with Nitto Invo's. As far as the springs and how well I like them, so far so good, body roll is virtually gone and now that the car has settled a bit, and I cut the rear bump stops down I love it.

Thanks; yeah it looks best on the fastest color! Yes, everything went in easy; just make sure you have the right mounts for your struts when you do those. And yeah, that's a BMR panhard, brace + relo bracket. Also still a little skeptical of the SR springs myself, but they get great reviews on AM & they were super cheap on Black Friday so I figured I'd just switch 'em out later if they suck. So far so good though; body roll is all but gone and the drop is looking good to me. I didn't want too low either and so was considering a 1.25" drop but I saw some pics of cars that still had a fair amount of fender gap, so I went with 1.5" and am glad I did. It's not as dramatic as I thought and speed bumps are still doable. I've got the Konis stiffer than stock right now, about one turn down from full firm, so I'm getting a little bounce, but will probably back that off a little for street use. Very happy with them and the rest of the setup so far.

No problem. I got the shocks from maximum motorsports at 20% off back in March, so maybe they'll put them back on sale after the holidays. The struts I got from lethal performance on black friday too but MM also had the struts at 20% off for a few months around March too (I just didn't have cash at the time), so maybe they'll go back on sale too.

Yeah if I see the sale price I will jump at I this year. I saw the deals last spring too but I couldn't justify buying suspension parts before I even had the car... Haha now I have a bit of money available and more importantly I have the car! Vendors feel free to chime in if you have some good deals coming up on koni's!!
Enjoy the ride! Hope you get it on the track... That suspension setup would be quite fun out there

That's a nice drop. I like the very low drops but not the ridiculous low ones. It's always a challenge to learn where and how to drive daily on a car that low. I did it for years and prefer it.

But man, seeing that stock setup pic, brings back memories. Even on 18's, the stock fender gap on the rear is just ridiculous...
2.4 is a little extreme don't you think? Do you find yourself crashing your stock bump stops in daily driving?
