I like the exhaust, at idle it has a nice deep rumble and when accelerating it roars, especially when accelerating aggressively... haha the intake adds to the sound for sure, cuz the whole car just screams as it goes by, you can tell theres some power moving by. i'm hopefully going for the HFC's and a tune on Tuesday, we'll see how the final sound comes out and if i get a decent gain in hp not

I can't see much of drop effect, very little. It might be better on 19 inch rims?

LOL, it's definately lowered trust me. I scrape on a lot of things. Maybe this pic shows better? This was when I broke the springs in more.

I'm more than pleased with my Eibach drop, i think the posted drop from Eibach's website is pretty acurate. Breitling65, if your coming out to the island for anything let me know, if i'm not working i can let you check the car out in person

Maybe, I just can't see much advantage on 18 inch rims. 19 I think will look much better.

I am thinking installing Eibach's end of the month. Where did you order yours?

i actually got mine from the shop that installed them with my exhaust and my intake, Place in west babylon called Vinny Ten Racing. dont know if i mentioned that already. They had them in stock when i called, it worked out pretty well for me. where are you looking to have the work done?

I'm actually trying another place tomorrow, they'll be installing my HFC's and tuning the car. Not that vinny ten wasnt great, but its like 45 mins away from me, and this new place is like 15. i hear this place does great work too. Performance Motorsports in Smithtown. do some google searches to find out more info

i know people who'd had issues with sand and salt messing up their coilover sleeves, getting a few stuck and not being able to adjust it.
The chance of blowing the strut with coilovers is muuch less then springs. Bc coilovers are treated to last in the winter (or so they say!)

I just believe stock 18 inch doesn't make much look difference even with drop. I got 19 inch OZ's with 245/40-19 Pirelli's for this drop
My only concern is struts, I don't like to spend more than this drop on this car.
