that looks really nice. I am worried that buying these 19's will start something that I didn't intend to start! (modding) I have the sport suspension and am trying to avoid the shocks and such that this thread starter is working through.....but that gap on mine is well over an inch.

I have installed the H&R Springs and have posted pics in my Album here
You can also look at pics here that are of my ACS Spoiler however show how the springs look after settling a few weeks. Click Here
I have no rubbing what so ever and I am very happy with them. I have the Sports Suspension as well.
If you want better pics let me know.

uh oh sounds like someone is worried about getting bitten by the mod bug, I think it might be too late
True. I only need the Mtech and then I would be done. It looks awesome with it, but too much money for me to spend on a car. I am bitter because I had one in my grips for only a few hundred bucks and the deal blew up! Someone in NYC was turning it in off of lease and only wanted a new wheel and tire and then would trade for my stock bumpers (had a cracked rim that needed to be replaced). It just didn't end up working out....mostly because someone in TX offerred to ship him the bumpers for free and then didn't ship them......Car went back to leasing Co with Black Sapphire kit (only 7 months old) fully installed, as I type that a tear rolls down my cheek! I contacted Evan at Tischer yesterday and he will sell me one for $1,360, but I'm on the east coast.....which means I can't get a body shop as easy as west coasters can. I have no idea what it would cost to paint, but I'm guessing $600 at least.
