How does it feel now with the spacers?
To be honest, there weren't much difference, but I admit I haven't driven this car hard enough, yet.

Just a mid range Sony DSLR (A550) with a Carl Zeiss DT lens. The secret is to have a solid tripod.

Thanks guys. I am considering lowering. What do the nonPASM guys have here, coilovers or just springs? I haven't start searching yet.

If not mistaken, u can do either one with Bilstein.....they r just adjustable coilovers I am at the lowest u can go without excessive tire wear. If i do new dog bones, i can go lower without excessive tire wear. We will see in the spring

Looking at Bilstein's catalogue, they don't seem to offer damptronics for vehicles without PASM. http://web1.carparts-cat.com/default...9018004&12=130
I might have to settle with the mechanically adjustable B16 PSS10.

Are you at the lowest setting on the damptronics (35mm)? I would be happy with the ride height you have now. But then, I may want to go lower once I get there. lol

I am at GT3 height and fully extended bones without setting the camber way off! I think (know) i will being doing the RSS bones in the spring! I can go lower with the coils! Actually when they installed them and put the car down , it was about 10 mm lower!

I would say - wait a bit. Take some time to decide to what level you will want to participate in autosport events. if you will get hooked with DEs and auto-x a lot which is very possible - then you will want different spring rates and different setup, see my signature.

If you wil only use this car as daily driver car and never run on a track - then i do not think you will benefit much from coilovers, just go with Eibach springs kit for stock shocks, do not use H&R.

Job to take off shocks and change springs is pretty much same $ as to install coilovers - about of $1K.
not all coilovers are the the same. If you decide to go with coilovers for sport - consider Moton or JRZ. If you want coilovers for street - use only PSS10. And research a lot what springs rate you will want.
Again, I think if you are new to your car - give it some time before you will decide for sure what are your plans. I got this car as a DD car and over 2 years it transformed almost into track only toy. You never know.
