The Racing Beat springs give 3/4" drop. Very mild. If you're getting coilover, all you'd need is a better set of struts.

I've only had them on about a 1000 miles and they have settled down to a little over a 1/2 inch. But I feels great

I've been waiting for the damn front swaybar endlinks to come in the mail. They came in today. I called the shop; they are too busy to do it today. They are going in first thing Monday morning. DAMN! I wish I could've had em on in time for this Sunday's autocross.

My BRAKES are not even here yet.

Man. I'm late on what you've been doing to your baby! How does she feel with the newly mods to her?

You coming tomorrow?

I'm coming tomorrow, but not w/ the new struts/springs. Just got my endlinks in for the front swaybar in Friday and the shop was booked. They are going on first thing monday morning.

Got the installed. First impressions - the car looks jacked up. WTF. I thougt these dropped the car 3/4". I wasn't looking for the dropped look but I didn't expect my car to come back raised up!!! It better settle down or I'm getting new springs.

Anyway, as far as handling goes, they are awesome. That's all I can say. I love the tuning of the struts. To me, it doesn't ride much harder. It feels "tight" again, like my car was brand new.

Just ran out and snapped some crappy pics. Will take more when I have a chance to wash the car.

Whoa, that does looked jacked up. I didn't expect it to be *THAT* bad.

Is there by chance you can adjust it? Maybe you gotta do that..


Hey, now you've GOT to let me drive you car, esp. one day on a fun run
