This weekend I will be installing my new seats from lethalinteriors. I have already got them in the mail and they are amazing. Working on steaming out the foam right now before I put the new covers on.

Damn that drop looks perfect! I just placed an order for BMR springs. Supposed to come in Monday. Your pics give me an idea of the look after they are installed.

AFK9, When you install new bump stops(you need some badly!) pull those SLP spacers off.
Pick up a set of Energy Suspension #9.9137 or Prothane #1-1301, they both come in red or black and can be had for around $20-$25 a pair.

Looks good. Give it a few weeks and it might settle a bit more, mine did and I'm happy with it.

Thanks everyone. I am loving the look and the ride quality has dramatically changed. I think this is a great combo!!! Couldn't be happier!! I went from stock de crapons in the front and cheap KYB's in the rear. Kind of surprised the original owner, who took amazing care of the car put these crappy shocks on and didn't change the front out. Also thanks for telling me how to upload pics the correct way. This weekend I will be doing another thread on my new leathalinterior seats, which are amazing by the way!!!!!!

An addendum to this, flickr is a pain in the butt. You have some additional steps. You have to view "all sizes".



Select an appropriate size (i.e. medium), and the right click the image and do "copy image location".



You then in put that location between [IMG] and [/IMG]
