Only springs, brought my car a few months ago, too new IMO to ditch the factory shocks. But plan on upgrading to coils when the stock shocks go out on me.

How is the road in S.africa? If there are lot of uneven pavement and potholes, then its going to get bumpy for your daily driving with the lowering springs.
5yrs coverage is pretty good, then I wouldn't mess with your car. But if you upgrade the wheels on your car, and want a lower stance, springs would be the way to go.

i was not thinking of changing springs ...is it necessary.
you see in south africa we have a 5 year motoplan which covers everything from brake pads to major warantee items and all servicing that excludes only tyres. SO i dont want to void this and springs would be ammo for them not replacing suspension components(i think)

it has the best color combination that i've ever seen.... and the carbon trim makes the car perfect!
btw, do you have problem when turning hard? like weird noises from the wheels?i use 20" too and whenever i did a hard left turn, there's like weird noises coming from the wheels.

Tks, your techart CS looks so sweet!
no problem so far, I been cornering pretty hard lately to test the springs. Could be the offset and tire width of your front wheels. What tire pressure are you running front and rear? Just curious, I am running 44 in front and 46 in rear.

Tks, sure, I'll take some pictures later in the week. Weather been pretty nasty lately, hard to get good lighting when taking interior shots.

i have to see the offset of the wheels, i forget about them.

Wow, you only put that much in them! The front tires looks so thin that I worry about going over one driveway or something that it will bend the wheels. So far so good and actually the car drives better with the higher pressure. When I started at lower PSI, it feels like the car turn in isn't as quick, maybe its all in my head. but feels like it.
