Looks great - how's the ride? Is it just new springs in this kit?

Very nice - I hate how my front has more gap then the rear - thinking about just putting in the front springs to drop it an inch and leave the rears stock. Ooh, just looked it up and they are smarter than me - drop is 1.2 front - 0.6 rear on the vert, 1.0 and 0.8 in the coupe, looks like that is why my front looks so high - looks like it is higher stock than the coupe and they use a different kit.

Did you need to do an alignment after putting in the springs?

I love the way Eibach rides also but it always seems the rear is lower than the front for what ever reason. Some of my customers just want a drop and want to keep it comfortable. It seems H&R is more high performance.

how far can you go(1-3in") without re-alignment or having to fold the fenders?
