Re: G2 Super Springs Let you know in 3 weeks. I'm having Hals all around installed as well as a complete LG suspension. So, maybe all of this together at one time might not be the best opinion.

Re: G2 Super Springs I don't have any pics for ya, but I can guarantee you that the stance of your WS-6 is going to be AWESOME with the G2 springs! I have a friend w/ a WS-6 that has our springs on it, and it looks NICE with the springs installed. Feel free to give me a call at the shop if I can help you out. The G2 springs are $229, and we keep them in stock! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: G2 Super Springs I've got the G2 springs and love them. It's my only suspension mod and the car handles twice as good and is not too low. Here's a pic. http://www.netsnapshot.com/pcw/build...&ACCOUNT=10364

You're not going to get the spring extension like you would with the stockers or a good set of drag springs. If you're still planning to take the car to the track, then I'd look at getting a set of Hal QA1 12-way adjustable shocks. This way you'll at least be able to help the weight transfer by loosening the front end up at the strip. Like I said, you won't get the extension on the springs like you would with the stockers or drag springs, but a soft strut will definitely help out.

Re: G2 Super Springs I think your car has convinced me to buy the springs. I'm torn between blowing all the money of saved and buying the stuff I've wanted before I even had the car, or keeping the warranty. I think I would be much better off with keeping the warranty but it's so tempting. Car only has 2500 miles on it...

Re: G2 Super Springs Go for a good spring/shock combo, the only possibly warranty it would blow would be if your shocks went bad but if you get good aftermarket shocks it won't be an issue. Go for it man, I love my car sooo much more since I dropped it. I was sick of the 4x4 look. I've gotten so many compliments as well, and nothing negative besides the occassional "I've seen your driveway, ARE YOU CRAZY!!!" from a few friends <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Go for it man, not only does it make the car look 1000x better it also handles amazing well too, I didn't think lowering it would have this big of an impact on handling. You won't be sorry.
