Look who I found waiting for me:






Can't wait to get them on! Hotchkis sway bars already made a hell of a difference, I almost thought I wouldn't even need coilovers anymore, lol.

They are on the car, and I have them on the highest ride height setting possible, so it still looks stock. Very small drop, not easily noticeable at all

Fan-freakin-tastic. lol.

They are not harsh at all for daily driving and going over bumps. I was pleasantly surprised. The car feels much more composed too.. driving and when going over bumps. I took the car around some twisties near my house and it handled great. I scared the **** out of two ladies walking along the street on the sidewalk, lol. Guess a car going around a bend at 70mph in a 40mph zone freaked them out a bit

The coilovers are 9 way adjustable, I'm in the middle of the range at this point. When I have some time I will play around and try out all the other settings as well. The adjustment **** for the rears is on the side, so I can very easily reach it to change the settings.

The track day was awesome! This was a lot more fun because a) I did a lot better this time, lol and b) we had 4 sessions, two of them open, not lead and follow. I passed a porsche, 240sx, and a g35 coupe.. all in a loaner 4 door automatic sedan, lol. I drove that sedan like I stole it, and when I came to return it, I almost forgot the receipt for my helmet rental in it

That's me in the silver g35 sedan, during the first lead and follow session.

Car looks almost stock height really.. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. I had them installed at GS motorsports. If only I had a lift at home Then my wife would have to come out to the garage to ever see me, lol.

GS is very reasonable for installation.

Call German for a quote. Tell him William referred you.
