Looks great.
One thing I have always been concerned with. How do the coilovers handle the rigors of salt and sand through the winter months. I would be concerned that the adjustability would be seized solid after some of our winters with the abundant salt they apply to our roads.

I would say that the bottom ring only adjusts within so much range, and that if you apply a protectant to the threading in the areas of adjustment you should be fine. The shock body itself is stainless steel and won't rust, and the anodized red ring is aluminum (which may rust over time, but a long time).

A product invented here called "Corrosion Block" is made for the marine environment, and for salt water fishing gear and products that face the rigors of the ocean. It may be a product you can buy where you live, or it may be worthwhile to buy a small sample on-line to try out. I'm sure you could use it in other applications as well other than automotive.

Thanks Robby, but I'm only planning to lower it about 3/4" at most, since I use the car for work daily.

I think the 4 doors in general are the "bastard children" of the lineup.

Your car will smoke all these RWD's boys in the bad weather we face!! None of this getting "stuck" business or spinning the rears trying to get traction.

San - You pimp!! nice coils!!!
