I'd have to go with Sportlines. Looks just like my T/A. Your car looks awesome NBM with your wheels. Enjoy your new stance!

Bwaahahaha. Yeah I actually washed it the day before I had the springs done. Then it rained and I managed to find all of the mud

.

The springs are actually stock GM springs cut 1 coil front and rear

.
I have heard folks say that you can not cut springs because the car will never sit right

. Corners much flatter (as expected). Bumps are more pronounced, but the car seems to settle quicker. I am very pleased. And you can't beat it for the money

The front I was told was actually about 1.25 coils. i do not have an actual inch of ride height; but the front appears 1.5" lower and the rear 1" or 1.25". My buddy that did the work says that it will probably settle another 1/8" over time.

As long as you do not cut them with a torch there is no problem. If you make it too low then you have to buy new springs anyway. Just be carefull and make small cuts. Then if you need to you can take a little more untill you get the stance you are looking for.
