Thanks guys.... The ride isn't bad, considering there coilovers and I have 20's.... I just have to be careful, if I hit a pothole to fast or hard I'm done for...... As for the handling, WHAT??? SUPERB........

Also I think a strut/spring set-up are a softer ride than coilovers but not if you have dampening adjustment.... I can make them hard as a rock or softer than stock.... But I can't make them too soft because I'll rub all over the place.....

any chance you have an after pic from a profile that matches that before pic? cause that before pic looks really high. that after profile doesn't quite show as well.

thanks for the pics. the front is tucked just a tiny bit, right? after you adjust, do you go get things aligned again?

i love the parking spot number there too

the front is fine like that, isn't that the end goal really? the rear could drop a little more. i thought the l-sportline kit was to be on already?
