I love the look of the car, but I probably will bring up the car about 1/4 inch.. so I am definitaly on the safe side... and it will still look great...

hitting the bump stops is no big deal - its hitting the fender well at 90MPH that you need to worry about. Your tire will literally lock up at 90MPH...OUCH!

you know.. about the rubbing issue... there is a part of the freeway near my house where I would always rub the inside lip of my fender.. and thats when I was higher...
now, last night I went over that part of the freeway at about 80mph, and NO RUB!!!! YA!!!!!
then again, I have not aligned the car yet, after the lowering... (yes yes I know), but I have been waiting for the entire suspension to settle after the install..
I think with the 1/4" raise and the alignment, I still think it will be good... comments/?

Wondering if $850 was too much for them though?

I was doing some coilover research the other day and came across a thread that rated these pretty well. Dont bet your kids on it, but I THINK Manaray had good things to say, and then other member chimed in! Do a search for it and just take a few minutes clicking and reading, you may find the thread I'm talking about.
Where did you order them from for that low price??

I got them from Area51 here in Nor. Cal. Its know a guy that works there. They wanted to know if anyone else is interested. $800 plus shipping and handling is the price for my 'GS friends'. He was also trying to sell me Apexi WS full exhaust for $474 plus tax.... lol... I am utilizing the rest of my budget for wheels though. If you guys are seriously interested, E-mail him up at AWD18T@aol.com or AIM him. Tell him you are Byron's iBuddy.

Cruz,
Thats a good price for both, because Intense power lists the WS exhaust at 640 on sale!! I would like get these now, but I've got other things brewing in the pot! Will he still honor this type of pricing in Jan/Feb??

I'm not sure if he will. Send him a instant message or e-mail. I'm sure he will reply to you. I was just checking google for pricing and g** damn this is a good deal. LOL... good thing I passed by their shop on my lunch break.
