How's the handling? Any floating sensation or is it as good as stock?

I can't believe it looks that good with the RSR drop. They Told me that it was like a half inch drop. That looks way more than that!

GS looks great.. Little trouble with mine. Not having much lunch finding someone to align it after I toss on the RS S springs. You have coil overs installed? Also on your Vossen rims what tire size do you have installed? Mine are CV4 on 245/35/20 and 275/30/20... My ISS exhaust was installed.. mufflers says magnaflow?? Yours? Apex smart Accel controller seems to help with the lag from the exhaust/joe-z intake/k&n filter..any info is appreciated.

Lol So around $450... That isn't bad. Are these coilovers?

I ask because you have a post that says "went down lower". Didn't know if that means the springs settled, or you adjusted for a lower height.

Yes, it did go down lower after getting aligned.

These are SPRINGS...i did not want to lose ride adjustment at all...totally satisfied with the results! Lovin' the GS even more. Lowered with the ISS exhaust system

I will post more pictures of the complete build when I get her back. Currently having the Wald kit fitted and color match. I will also post sound clips, since afew members are requesting. Over all the wald kit will complete my built(hopefully).
I am having a tough time figuring out how to order these springs. I keep seeing rs-r springs that drop the car only like an inch.
Please help!

What do I not know? What am I missing here?

Thanks
