She's going down this weekend...and the car.
Guys, I can do this Friday, but I'll be in Chicago from 9/11-16 for a huge show at McCormick Place for work. The following weekend could work for me too.
John- Definitely put those spacers on immediately! I like your moves with the black grill. I keep thinking about going the coilover route... I just need to convince myself to put the money into it. Decisions decisions...
John #2- My PIAA's are 19's. My main goal is to really close the fender gap. I don't need to have my car on the ground because I'm not going for the show look, but the fender gap up front is killing me...
I'm completely up in the air now. I don't know what to do at this point. I have too many decisions to make. I may consider picking up a set of used Basics from the marketplace... I don't know. People, help me decide here.

Id say coilovers but Im biased based on what I have. Springs are great but coils give you the ability to change if need and you can get the exact drop you want with out modifying. Im sure the other John will agree. Both Brian and Wills drops look good but Coils FTW!

If you're considering springs and shocks all the way around, then forget that and go coilovers. You'll have about as much in that setup as you would a set of used coilovers.
If you want to close fender gap and improve handling, get you some swifts, I promise you won't be dissapointed. Or go the tein z h-tech route. With either spring, you'll get the drop you want with the springmount mod, and you can keep your stock shocks. You can go this route for $300 for new swifts, around $200 or so for new teins, or under $150for used teins.
Or drop a 800 to a g on coilovers and you'll never have to mess with it again. I have other priorities ahead of coilovers, so the springs were perfect for what I wanted to accomplish. Just prioritize what you want to do to your car, and make your decision based on that.
By the way, I was also considering the NF210's, looks like a very nice drop, similar to mine and the z htechs.

Haha I agree I need to meet all of you guys.
That ride was fairly entertaining. Didn't see a single G, but ended up driving around Davidson for the first time. Nice little town...

There's a good restaurant in Davidson with a really nice bar called Brickhouse. That could be another possible meeting place. But, northlake is more central to everyone, especially heading into uptown.
You guys know of any places that serve a good selection of Belgian beers in the area?
Anyone going to Ocktoberfest?
Are there any other good places for grub that you guys can think of? I need to expand my horizon's a little bit here.

Spring update.
After going to VA this laborday weekend car seemed fine, no clicks or pops or knocks of any kind. Had 3 passengers in the car for a total of maybe 3 hours. Car sat for 2 days without moving in rain. Start car and go to meet my girl for lunch and the clicks and pops have begun.
