I really like the look. now I think it needs to be lowered about 1.5 inch in the front and an inch in the back. anyone have experience with cutting coils down? is there a shorter stock spring offered somewhere on another model?
Get the coupe springs. They are a bit lower me thinks and the rears are progressive rate. You may want to try diff shims. Also you will def want to put atleast a 3mm spacer if they are that close. My new tie rods are 3mm wider than my old ones and rub in the corners.
