And that rear Window Spoiler??
Any noise at highway speeds?
Notice any difference between before and after.
I think (by pictures, never saw in person) it adds a tough of class.
So, what's the story.

Yea I installed both the rear window spoiler and the trunk one. I got the rear window one off EBay and the paint on it was really nice, I didn't know what to expect. I don't have any noise at HWY speeds, but the only down side is when I wash the car nothing behind it gets air dried when you need to give the car a quick wash. Thanks for the complement, I was on the fence about the whole deal, but I like it now.

All the measurements I've seen for both the Eibach and H&R springs show that it's more like 1.5" or so. IMO that's about perfect for those who aren't looking to tuck our tires.

Honestly, I'm still mystified how you can drive the car day to day with it that low. If I had a car that low I'd be doing a helluva lot of parking on the street and walking because I'd never get it into a parking lot! I've been stationed in CT, HI, RI, VA/MD/DC, and WA over the past 15 years, and of all those varied locations I think I maybe could've survived in HI with the car that low.

as i've mentioned numerous times, i wanted an aggressive look that could really set off my 3 piece wheels. the wheels were measured and fitted to support the drop it sits on now, nice and flush.

there's a difference between sagging body with mediocre wheels/tires and filling the entire wheel well with a piece of art, again, nice and flush.
