    I will, one painstaking wallet punch at a time! I have the motor coming in a couple weeks but I have to get the pcm sent off before install. So far I have the motor, tog headers w catless dp, ported blower, arp studs, 3.4 mps, 10.3 wires, slp ram air box, ported and polished heads and I am thinking of adding 1.9 r rockers and stiffened valve springs. Im not camming it because its my DD and I put about 50 - 60 thousand miles on a car a year mostly highway. I am also working on buying an SD hood and I am still looking for a gen 1 SLP spoiler.

    think again. no matter what youre riding on, the lower you go the more harsh it will ride. a strut/spring combo is 100% the way to go unless youre trying to go really low because struts/springs cant do that.

    If you have compression adjustable coilovers they will ride better than struts ever will but I dont know if I want to make that kind of investment in this car. As I said I drive this car every day so I want the lowered stance but dont want to compromise ride too much. So any suggestions would be gr8

    adjustable struts are what youre looking for. KYB AGX struts and pick your poison with the springs. coilovers are still going to ride hard the lower you go because the lower you go you'll need higher rate springs as well as struts that are valved to dampen the spring more heavily.

    getting what im saying here?

    Yep the spring rates are going to be stiffer the lower you go thats why I dont want to go any more than 1.5.

    then AGX and the springs of your choice (probably vogtland, SSC, or maybe canuck/springtech) are the way to go. trust me.

    i thought they were 16's at first. its the tire size lulz. must go lower x over 9000.

    and id totally slap 245/45/18's on these. would look a lot sexier.
