i had just bought two new tires for the rear i had the 1st one installed and then the next 2 days later because they were out of stock. so i have 2 new tires in the rear. the front two tires are at about 30%. i will be getting new wheels in about 3-4 weeks. so i figure the front two will last a few weeks.
l-tuned set up was bought new from Darrel Diller in Texas along with my l-tuned body kit (shocks and springs $388 plus shipping, body kit $310 shipped not painted.....i saw Darrel's post for it and it said $270 painted, in 4 avail colors. i asked for unpainted and was sent, painted pearl white sides. the grill was not painted., i have parchment crystal so i had to repaint it. He said unpainted was less by $60. so i'm thinking maybe i over paid just a little on the kit, but still very cheap. not worried about $60. although i will be calling him to let him know, i need some touch up paint.....heeheee total= $746 shipped to my door for the springs, shocks, side skirts and grill.
i had a shop do the install. i will be going there monday so i will ask them to make sure it is seated right. but my ROAD(TIRE) NOISE is really bad, i didn't think it would be this loud, anyways put up a seperate post for that one.....thanks for the help all......
neo you are the one....thanks again

just to let you know that l-tune springs does not drop you car very much. with 16" the gap is similar to mine. yes they will settle but not by one inch, just a few mm. i believe the drop is 1". with 20" wheels, it looks good.
for more aggresive drop you could have went with daizen or h&r springs.

LOL!! maybe he has fat joe hidin in the backseat.....then again he'd have NO GAP if that was the case.... LOL
seriously tho...if you plan to swap the springs, I'd line em up side by side to see if one physically has a coil or half a coil more than the other, if not for anything else, do it for ****s and giggles
