Hi Gene,

My car is fitted with the same springs, very nice but too soft according to me.
I ordered yesterday sway bars to help the car being stiffer, if still not enough it will be Damptronics...

The swaybars will NOT help with the "stiffness"...it will only help with keeping the car "flat" during cornering.

Yes I know, it is to complete, I expect it will help a bit, and not expensive....

unfortunately my photo server website has gone under. All the photos I put up are gone. I have to find a new host service and load them all back up and redo the links. Ugh

Quick question on this... After lowering the car, the steering wheel isn't straight anymore... I haven't touched the toe links at all... How is this possible? It goes straight and no pulling to either side, but the darn steering wheel if straight, goes to the right a bit.

car needs to be aligned after lowering. That's why your steering is off

I found your DIY posting which has great information and the pictures are not there anymore. Is it possible for you to upload the old pictures again.

Thanks again,
Alfredo

I'm thinking about Techart springs as well, the car would look so much better closer to the ground, with no apparent degradation in ride quality? My front lip isn't painted body color so I guess I shouldn't worry about it....
