I think I'm going with Viking coilovers this summer. I like the idea of having adjustable ride height. Do you have Viking coilovers, or are you just using their shocks with other lowering springs? Your stance looks great.

My has the fronts, rear is stock cut springs, and viking shocks. The car is not that low in the front anymore if your looking at the sig pic. That was stock struts with intrax lowering springs on the front. The vikings could easily go that low but I was going for ET when I set the ride height this time and scaled the car.

Yes, I was going by the sig pics. I'm really just curious as to how the ride quality is with the coilovers all around, but you only have them out front. Either way, looks like your car performs great with the setup you have. Glad that it works well for you.
