hopefully they have a soft spring rate since they are fixed rate springs, if not every time you hit a bump you'll hate your life. ask me how i know...

I know what you mean. Thankfully the roads over here are mostly new without many bumps. The ride home was mostly bearable. After I finish up the rest of my suspension, it will be more then decent. As for now its not that bad and it'll do just fine (keep in mind i DD the car).

December 27, 2011: Lowering Springs Installed

The springs lowered the car 2.08" and i couldnt be any happier with the looks of the car.
Got an alignment as well and everything checked out okay.

I'll wash her up real nice tomorrow and hopefully get another photoshoot in!

Looks way better, now some wheel spacers in the back will make it perfect. Or... for now at least lol.

what a creative thank you post ;p

I like you buddy haha!

I didn't get a change in ride quality from my stock springs, the thing that was bad on mine was all the eurethane everywhere ;p

The springs (if they are SVE's) are the stock rate, so they should feel about the same.

For your own safety you don't want progressive springs, that means unpredictability. You always want the way your car handles to be predictable, the racers on here can tell you :)
Happy for you bud!

Much better, man. And they should "settle" some in the next couple of weeks or so - maybe pick up another 1/8-1/4 drop
