The dropped MS3 looks really nice (thumb) Very aggressive look!

agreed. Other than the 'you must scrape everywhere' comment, that's the the most regular comment I hear.

Looks the same to me too! Awesome comparison...truthfully i wanted to go with the MS coilovers to keep the entire car OEM but i was worried it would be too high...but that ish looks good! Hows the ride quality? Do you have the same rear adjustment issue that Soko mentioned? (below)

"It's like that on almost every coilover setup on the Mz3. Take a look at the Mz3 rear spring/crossmember config next time you're down there. You'll see that if the adjustment collars sit on the top of the spring, you can't fit the spanner wrenches there to adjust the ride height on the vehicle."

I noticed you said separate compression and rebound adjustments...on the MS Setup? They are adjustable? Do you have anymore pics Maestro?

I think these pics are what your looking for on the rears. I would love to find a local with the H&R set up to compare with. I have had H&R springs on my last 2 cars, love 'em.

Yes, separate compression and rebound. Very friendly for everyday driving and a noteable improvement over stock. I have not adjusted C/R yet.

Soko7, the first few exhausts have shipped out already. Also what is your impression with the different tire size?

P.s. You should start a new thread. You are in one about suspension and it is kind of old. Moderators some guidance?
