the problem is there are only 2 options for dropping the car - HR springs and coilovers. Coilovers are out because with installation and alignment this is a 3000+ mod. The springs is a possibility, but I have had poor experiences in the past with springs ruining the ride on my cars and also causing shocks to go bad prematurely.

Looks great Jason.

As for the price, hey I paid $1100 for paint and install of the OEM M Tech kit on my previous car so I think you got a great deal.

Sweet transformation! Now you inspired me to change out my rear end, it's the only thing I feel I need to do. Thanks again!
