I still like those wheels among the OEM offerings. Some 15mm spacers front and 25mm rear would be nice to my eyes.
Do you have a beam shot of the HID's?

How slammed we talking? Tucking 19 inch wheels or just some tire tuck? If u wanna tuck rim or come close, it's really not possible. EZs give a smooth ride, no doubt but you cannot ride too low with them because they are soft (comfortable, smooth ride). So if u ride super low with them, your oil pan could possibly be hitting the floor if you aren't careful.

EZs give a smooth ride, no doubt but you cannot ride too low with them because they don't allow the rear damper to thread into the lower bracket far enough, the fronts can drop the bumper to the ground (comfortable, smooth ride).

Ok I've come to realize that advertised spring rates dont mean squat when comparing different brands. Sure the BCs and Megans are said to be the same but ride quality comes down to the damper valving. Megans to me seem to way "undervalved" for what they advertise, which would explain why they feel soft, not firm.
Yes, I know the provided shock is too long...

but you're right, they are too soft. maxed the stiffness on the EZ's and they're still too soft.

I know you can droop the spring to get that low but you would prolly be riding the bumpstops at that point. The mufflers or the piping would prolly be sparking hitting the bumps and dips on the freeways too haha
On a side note, saw your car on Sunday at the Westminister meet, looking proper man. Any plans to lower the fronts to match the back or is it too sketchy wit the EZs?

you probably saw my car when it was parked near the back of the dealership parallel parked to the fire lane. that area i parked in had uneven pavement so my car was leaning towards the right so it looked as if my fronts were high. that's the gay thing about drooping the EZ's.. when you're on uneven ground, your car tilts to whatever side the car is leaning towards. so at that time you saw it, my rears were super dumped and my fronts were high up. i wanted to move more towards the middle of the road to make it even but said eff it haha.
on even ground, my car is actually dumped in both fronts and rears. that's the maximum i can go in the front in terms of turning cause im still on stock fenders.
^watch at 2:20, you can see a big gap in front.
^ that's how it looks like on even ground.
