my new daily ride height stance with the bc-racing coilovers. it is about 3-3.5 inches off the ground at its lowest part in the front. it does scrape a little on the underneath plastic covers so i have to be careful when driving in certain places. but the ride is so freaking awesome compared to how it was with the oem air struts. apparently this coilover feel (set to 5 clicks from full soft) is much more suiting to my driving style. i love it...
the car wasn't very clean since i drove it like 200 miles in a day and a half since the last wash, oh well.
my new hid's plus got it wired so i can run the hid fogs with my drl's.
new hid fogs with the normal oem hid's.. makes the oem hid headlights look old with these bright *** hid fogs.

^ ^ ^ paid a stereo shop to do it since they were messing with my sat radio trying to fix it. they had to wire a separate switch (and button) that is very discrete and looks almost factory down by the smart key buttons. don't have their wire diagram but i choose to have the ability to turn mine on after the parking lights are already on, this way they would still auto turn on and auto turn off like factory... really sets ur car apart when driving to those that know the deal...

See but that is were the debate comes in. What would u define as ride quality? I think I can guess ur definition and in this case I may have lost some of the pillowy feel, but I rode around lowered and insport since the day I bought it and on low pros most of the time too. I never liked the lincoln town car feel of our ls's since day one but I did love the oem lowered air feel in sport mode and that is what I just lost. I did however gain a more firm sporty lowered stance and feel and although it does feel worse over bumps it feels much better while turning, and I do mean much better. I hated the body roll and understear of the ls 430 and I have just eliminated a lot of that, but I did take on a harsher bounce and rebound so I guess u have to take the good with the bad. Its definitely not for the old man cadi or towncar purist.
So I guess u would have paid top dollar to replace the oem stuff, or would u have taken it a step further and not had the datasystems controller in the first place?
