Brian1225,
Your car looks great. How did the H&R springs affect your ride quality?

Did you replace the shocks as well?

Cheers

did not change the shocks the ride is awesome it handles much better being lower to the ground. I don't feel that the ride is that much stiffer. I was worried when i lowered it that the ride would be uncomfortable. but it is perfect. Would recommend lowering with h & r!!!

Brian, your car looks great. I've been waiting for someone with the sport package to put on lowering springs.

Am I right? Do you have the sport package? Is there any impact on active steering or ARS?

what size tires did you go with and do you have any problems with rubbing when there are others in the back seat?
