Lowering springs, what needed!!!

One thing that I didn't see mentioned, and is noteworthy, is that few of the springs offered for the Speed6 are specific for the application. Most were originally designed for the regular 6. As there are weight differences, this means your ride might suffer. The only springs I know for a fact which were designed for the Speed6 are those offered by RPM. I got a set of their pre-production springs, which equates to their current set with the lesser drop (I don't recall what they are named). The drop is actually minor, but it looks 1,000% better than stock. Handling is likewise improved, and with the small amount of drop your stock stocks shouldn't wear that much more quickly.

As long as you are under there, I would also recommend installing a set of the SPC adjustable ball joints. RPM also carries these. Easy to install, you will definitely have to get an alignment afterwards but the transformation in handling is amazing. The first couple of times I drove the car it felt like it had dropped a couple of hundred pounds.
 
IIRC the H&R springs have seperate part numbers between the 6 and MS6. Not sure if they are actually different though.
