I've got them set on the all the way firm for now to try it out. 12K spring rate up front nd 8k in the rear seem to be pretty good. They are indeed firm and I'll let everyone know as I play with softer setting in the near future as they settle...I'm so glad to be back on coilovers and I agree she looks so much better know...I may go back to 19x19.5 in the rear so I can tuck it like the front...

Unfortnuately its mearly a shaddow of its former self. After the original owner the body kit was destroyed and it got passed around, changing several owners and had a hard time. Back to stock bumpers.

The car had the original bags which the rears where leaking, they where swapped out for the coilovers in 2008. This car i actually went to my highschool leavers dinner in 2006. It wasnt until i had brought the car i learned of the original owner and its history.

Jsut passed 160k miles. Did just shy of 20k miles a year since owning it these past 2 years. Need to repair and repaint the front bumpers, scrapes on everything!

19x10/11 with my drop and NYC streets is NOT FUN, but I love the way my car looks.

Can't decide if I should convert my BC's to bags or get RUCA's tor more camber and less stretch in the rear.

Opinions??
