Ride is actually quite pleasant...smooth and straight but it is less forgiving when going over bumps. I would put it at the nicest ride of all the lowered cars I've ridden in though...some are notorious for hard rides (Eibach....). I think these are a great set of springs, they make the car feel tighter too.

Nice drop. Looks so much better to get rid of the fender gap.

Looks good, I like the height! Should have mine next week and will put them in as well. How low is it to the ground now? From bottom of rocker/ground effects to ground?

Does lowering void the warranty?

Lowering would only screw up your suspension warranty.

I haven't measured officially...but I did lay down and take a look and it looks like the clearance is sufficient. I'll get that measurement for you.

Thanks man, I have heard that white/silverstone metallic is quite the rare combo....all the other white ones I've seen are white/white. I'm really satisfied with the tint and drop.

Yes, if thats what causes the problem, IIRC the Magusson-Moss Act.

Magusson-Moss Act covers this.

Looks nice! Have to disagree with you on the Eibachs thing though because my car rides very close to stock. I think most W-body owners who complain of harshness with Eibachs have worn struts.

To each his own...rode in my buddy's GXP with 6k miles and eibachs and we did some spirited driving in a famous canyon down here and I was bouncing all over the place. Worn struts or not, I just didn't like the ride that much.

Niiiiiiice - very nice!

Just don't get flat bedded - mine scraped the air dam and would have hit the exhaust if it were on the car this morning.
