Looks awesome!

Is GC providing their kits with the newer shorter springs, or do I have to ask for them?

I believe u have to ask for them. just say u want the shorter front springs. They modify the bumpstops as well. BTW, thats at the lowest setting. U can raise it to ur liking. Its really low right now.

That looks great!

I am guessing you are happy with the drop now? How is the ride now? any difference than with the longer springs?

I love the drop now. Its very low. Cant b driven like this during the winter tho. Gotts b very careful right now since streets r still all messed up. Ride is still surprisingly very good. Im sure on the track the other setup would prob prove to be better, but as far as looks go, this cant b beaten. But to get the optimal performance all that u would need to do is raise it. Right now, when u turn the car feels much more responsive, but it is a bit bouncier. Still nothing like the H&R springs.

those are 19s?
I usually like your taste in wheels, but Im not feeling those at all.
Can't wait to see your new wheels.

The drop is nice, its $899 for full suspension?

There's a nice thread in the Suspension forum. It's not a full set-up in that you still use your OEM struts.

Nice set-up OP. It's a little too low for my daily drive, but looks good.
