Better gas mileage? lol. I've seen that in the Eibach ads in magazines too. I haven't noticed?

And the springs are alright. They're a little bit bouncy, but the drop is about as low as I can go and still get in my garage. I would have liked to go a little lower, but it still looks good.
Lowering your car also lowers the coefficient of drag which in essence gives you more mpg. See how that works?

i bet you the car rides alot better when the wheel is not halfway up the fender

lowering is fine, but slaming a z makes it look cheap like an integra

Fleetwood FTW

True. Real world difference? Indiscernible.

Haha. It was probably one of the lowest ones on here. I forgot I don't have my signature picture (like on other forums) to show the sarcasm...

Haha, truth. The slicktop will be around the same height, Edgar... The Ohlins have a ton of room for height adjustment.

Don't try to get me into a who's going to be lower argument. because I'm happy with my ride height. If you go lower, more power to you, lol. If you match my height, you better match my flushness, hahaha.

Haha, I'm not trying to get into that argument with you. I was just saying that I will be close to the ride height I had on the gold car. I don't want to go lower than I was, I will probably be around your height, maybe a little higher. As long as there's no wheel gap, I'll be happy in terms of height.

As far as flushness goes... you know I've been looking for a loonngggg time to get the perfect set of wheels, and rest assured when I do find them, they'll be flush.
