Hey thanks for the thumbs up! I enjoy being part of this forum. I have learned alot from everyone here.
Here's the skinny...
1. I think the 2" springs are harder than the 1.6" I have never bottomed out driving on the roads in a fairly straight line. I have given up some of my comfort for the look.
2. YES! The outside of the tire was rubbing only in slow left and right turns. This was nothing serious though. You just learn how to drive it that way. I did have the inner fender rolled and both fenders painted. Since..no problems.
3. I don't crawl over pot holes ...the only issue is the speed bumps..I have bottomed out once or twice. I took a look under the car after and it hit the plastic gaurd. Pretty harmless....
4. Yup just 2" Eibach...I have thought of using the coilovers on the rear. Alot of people have talked about the wheel gap in the rear..even after lowering. I agree...it still could use at least another 1"
5. TIS was the only way to go for me...I loved the eight spokes...plus they had just developed a new wheel just for this car. I knew it would fit.
6. Well if you want factory ride...then don't lower your car and put 22's on it. But if you want a car that turns heads everywhere it goes....then get it on the ground and stuff some rubber bands around those rims.....
