Thanks =)

I plan to keep the stocks for when I sell or trade it in. Unless I get a reasonable offer, which is unlikely considering their value.

Very nice. I think it looks ok even w/o the drop personally.

Thanks =) My spring will be delivered tomorrow.... and i CANT WAIT to see how it looks dropped. w00t w00t!

Springs still need to settle......

 

[DarkSpeed3]

I should point out, theres no rubbing. Very close but rolling them wont be needed, even when settled fully.

That's impressive. I get the impression there's a bit more room under these fenders than in the 1st gen.

I can confirm that is 100% true.

FRONT from above

The car has only been driven 30 miles with the new H&R springs in, so its going to settle quite a bit more that what you see here.

235's and also on an 8" wide rim. They connect to the road well. Feels more solid.

Cool Thanks, I must be blind! I looked at his sig too! (boom03)

Ok, Thanks. I'm looking for springs for the track. But heard the H&R's
might not be good enough for that. But I was thinking those with
an upgraded sway bar should be ok.

You could get away with 8.5 is the offset is right. Otherwise the tire may rub against the shock/strut
