I would lower anyway. I dont mind the big car feel though. I have a straight flat drive to work everyday. I live in Kansas and it is flat and a hell here. No real hills or whindy roads to speak of. I want that luxo ride with good handling for when I need it. I am starting to feel closterphobic in my 5.
I think you need a 7 on some KW Variant 3 coilovers.

How is the ride with the coilovers. It would be nice to adjust for the winter so that car does not become a plow. I am getting a silver one. We are finalizing the deal later today and I will have to go pick up the car in a few weeks. I decide on the 06 it had a fewer miles and was 10k cheaper. Not a sport pacakge but I dont care. What wheels are those I really like them and can I get them with a matte black face or gunmetal?

Those wheels were custom built by NC Forged. Most forged 3 piece wheels can be built almost any way you want them. When I drove that car, those coilovers were on the softest setting. I think it rode good. It had a firm and sportier feel compared to stock.

My personal car has the H&R springs on it. They have been on there for probably about 5 years now. Ride is comfy, yet more sporty compared to stock. Once the economy starts treating my right, I am going to get the KW's also.

I need more referrals.

More referrals = more business
More business = more income
More income = redo the 7 or new car.

Hurry and start referring more local people over here.

If you get me a good price on wheels I would buy from you if you are willing to ship them to the Midwest.
