I guess I'm not worried about the bushing hurting the shocks; that hadn't really occured to me. I just notice that the car will wander around the road alittle, more so with ruts, I know this is more common with wider tires (my 235s) but seems a bit odd. So I'm blaming it on the bushings.
Spoilers, eh... The only one I would ever even concider is the 1st gen style. Two reasons.
1. Its clean and I like that, but would need to be molded into the body.
2. It's functional. I seem to remember a road test that verified that it lowers the C.D. by 0.05 and creats actual down force.
I personally think most spoilers are ugly and shoud only be used if they are needed. Even the Supra's need to go. The car is so much cleaner and smoother looking. Reminds me of a Ferrari 550. If you disagree that's fine. Just my thoughts. Everybody like something different.
Thanks for all the comments though

Isnt it possible that the reason the rear looks so much lower is because the springs havent set yet? Surely the front will show more of a difference after setting because of the added weight of the massive motor in the front. I would suspect that in a few weeks things will look much more level...

The springs were bough used, with very low miles. I would think they should be broke in so if it drops more I'll be suprized.

And yes, being that the springs were bought used with low mileage they should have already settled. Garrett GT40 eh? Hmm....
