Finally picked it up today and WOW. What a transformation. I'll post pics tomorrow from the office. Painted skirts and lowering made one hell of a difference.

For now I tried H&R Springs against my techs recommendations and I do see his point. They are a bit "floaty" but over all it doesn't feel bad at all. I'll probably upgrade to full suspension in the future but for now I'm very happy.

No Spacers and front is 9" w 11.5" rear.

Your car would look very nice with either 19s or 20s on them!
