Wow, looks great.
I'm thinking these will be my next mod.
Well, maybe after I bolt on my headers and y-pipe I bought in 06/06.
Sam, you posted something about not getting your rear bar to 02SOMLS1WS6, I assume beacuse of his G2 springs. I already have your bars front and rear. They will work w YOUR srpings, right?

Like I said on GOI... Looks good man. 
Think I'm gonna put my rear isolators back in and adjust the front a little higher after seeing how your car came out.

Not bad at all, I'd probably try leaving them in first then if its not low enough, remove them. I have no spare tire, jack, rear seats or exhaust so the rear end came up a bit with all the weight reduction. It will go back down with the battery relocation and finishing my custom duals.
The Strano springs should sit low enough with the isolator in there.

They are white, and isn't it funny you are telling me that the color has to change, but yet you've seen all these pictures and didn't know for sure what color they are. I think that means you can't see them, and they are white for a reason.

I just like matching or dark colors on my car I dunno maybe im too weird about it and would think white would show more dirt. I dont drive the car hardly ever and I clean the underside alot yeh yeh I know lol. I just think it would be sweet if they were black or a granite color.

You know the old saying "you can please some of the people all the time, or all of the people some of the time"?????????
Dude, they are springs, I'm much more interested in how they work than how they look when I'm working on my brakes. It'd be different if they were obvious to everyone and their brother...... which they clearly are not.
They are white because I wanted folks to know what they have. How many times have you seen "I have these springs on my car and have no idea what they are, help!".
You can always paint them you know, but don't you have Hotchkis anyway?

BMR and DMS both go up there, and some others *start* there and get higher (which is even worse).
