Taking corners were fun, now they are an absolute blast...
I have been looking into it for sure. I really love the look

No problem Damien, glad to help.

Just waiting for the excuse to buy new struts then it is game on. It is pricey to do it all at once but I think it will make a huge difference in the looks department on mine

Hey Ken thanks... You will definately be able to get out of it, it is barely noticeable when getting in and out... Unless you really slam it down, although that is also very cool...

Default Ride up-date

Good evening everyone. Just wanted to give you a ride up-date. In one word, awesome!!! Ride comfort is close to stock only a little bit stiffer. Cornering is much tighter and more controlled. Steering is very tight and controlled... Bounce is a little different from stock, you will pogo a bit, but not much. Ride height is still a 1/2" higher in the front although the ride height is even, guess I will have to just forget it as it is barely noticeable. Pic attached. ... Highly recommeded......

They look great Damien!

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. My front end is super bouncy and driven when I brake.

I do have a question though. My rear end is already low (sagging lol) due to my subs, amps, battery, and firefighter gear back there. I know springs w/ anti-pogo washers will help the front, but what will the rear do? If its already low will it go lower or will the shorter but stiffer spring lift it up a little?

I would love it it the rear didn't change at all lol.

Unfortunately not. You may want to go with a stock height spring in the back to even out.

Your car looks good lowered like that, did it make the ride of the car feel any different?
