HKS LS+ Coilover install

Installed the HKS LS+ Coilovers today. Can't say enought about HKS's quality. They went in easily and work great! Took me about 3 1/2 hours to put them in. I am sure with a lift you could do it in about an hour and a half. Right now I have them set at the max comfort setting which is 30. They handling is MUCH better than stock. With the stock setup it the front seemed like it was going to break loose when taking corner at high speed, now it sticks like glue.
I am going to back them down to about 20 and try that for a while since they seem a little soft at 30.
I left the height at the factory setting which is about 1.2 in the front and 1" in the rear.
The second pic is at the stock height.

Thanks, I wish I could go as low as you. If I go lower I have to buy a new home, my driveway has a weird slope.

That's the exact system I'm saving up for this summer! Now when I work, I can imagine what I'm working for. Thanks for the review and the pics. That is definitely the full suspension I'm looking for.
