I put in H&R Sport Springs which dropped it about .5" and I also replaced my grills to matte black. Enjoy the pix!

nice, did you get the vibration resolved as well? Good you got the springs before you went to west end alignment

They sent me to another shop and they inspected the wheels and tires for anomalies. Everything seem fine and consistent with America's Tire, Big John's, and others. They did another road force balance and stripped off all weights on the wheels. They did a clean slate and put in weights down to 1 ounce increments. I drover the car with the tech and it drove much better. The vibration is there but it's very slight.

Here's the interesting part. We put on my OEM wheels and there was also a slight vibration It may have been there but not paid attention to it.

I drove the car with the Miro's back home and the ride is fine with a very faint vibration. It's something I can live with. If I wanted a plush right, I would get a MB. Clearly, I didn't and am happy right now.

...on to the next mod
