stop the order on the fsport springs, at the bare minimum for 'lowering' springs should be eibach 250 springs and not the 350 version aka fsport... and only the rear sways are needed, dont order the front...

trust me, that 1.4in front drop for the 250's vs 1in for 350's isnt gonna bottom you out, but it will make a better visual difference... this is a minimal drop that will still give you clearance... besides... here on oahu we have the 3rd? 4th worst roads in the NATION and we all drive slammed

You should listen to llamaboiz, i think you will be disapointed with the drop that the F sports springs will give you.

I believe he's talking about the German company Hella's air horns.

I think those are the one's montgb and another Canadian 2IS has it.

Also, no one has confirmed if the actual F-sport brochure numbers for the sway bars are accurate. Some suspect this is a misprint in the numbers. However, many members enjoy their car with just the rear sways for the 350. I have a 250 so either way I would be getting both sways if I decide to purchase them.

Hahaha, I remember being puzzled by this a few weeks ago, thinking it was some weird Bay Area fad. I actually kinda want to get them now though.

^ Seriously, I'll take any mod I can get now to scratch the itch. I've been obsessing over putting police lights and sirens in my car lately. -_-
