Firstly, Thought I was with it but guess not. What are coilcovers? Are they inserts of some type? Where can we get them? Do you have a pic? tanks!
and secondly, Im afraid to do the DF's because I still beleve that if you lower the car too much the sport ride setting on the 430 will not be as effective or work at all. Any truth to this?

The ride quality is very good, and it feels like sport mod 24/7. I would stick to spring other than coilcovers because the height of the DF’s are perfect. But some people want it adjustable 
Ex996, it should be interesting to see your car. Although I wish you would have gotten the DF's

sorry for the late reply.....very..........NICE. Love the stance. If you dont get wheels, i would suggest some H&R or LMW hubcentric spacers for the rear.
really nice and smooth looking, good job taking pics on a downward slope.

D2 thank you for the kind words. What will the spacers do?? Also I will contact you when I decide to get wheels. I'm debating on which ones now.

I thought the DF's dropped the car 1.3inch in front and 1 inch in the rear? But according to EX996, the NF's do that? That is awesome. I wanted to do the DF's but since my dad will be doing most of the driving, he can't have the car too low or else he will scrape the hell out of the underside...
