Last night completed upgrade with H&R Stage Two Sport Springs, 1.9" Front and 1.3" Rear drop, with Bilstein Heavy Duty Struts. Ride is nice, real stiff and tight and really sticks in the curves now. Visually, even the wife noticed, "the car looks nice and is really low now hun" was the quote. Although she's a little hesitant about the ride since I did the work, something about, what if the wheels fall off. ;)

Still have to get the front end alignment before I put her through the paces for real but she sure is sweet now based on the 20 minutes of limited, but spirited, driving today. I also need to update cardomain with new pics, after I fully recover from the install, but posted a few quick ones below for now. Take a look at Page One for a couple quick Exterior pics and Page Eight for Install Pics (no write-up though).

Let me know what you think. And Terje (Big-T), thanks for the inspiration, I hardly had any parts leftover after the DIY;) j/k, nothing left over, that I'm aware of. hehe

Regards,
Mike D.
