Some pics of the 03













some pretty good rust on the door pillar, but that should be covered under the 10 year extension to the corrosion warranty...

Yup totally forgot Janik that you had just the S rwd model, I'll have to sell these springs to someone else locally for a good deal or just sell them on the forums. Best price so far I've found the BC coilovers shipped was for $869 so I'm still looking around right now for anything that might be cheaper possibly.

I was also looking at my car this morning and it actually does look better with the springs but its almost as if my car still looks stock height since I have oem rims still, coilovers is the only way for me now theres no turning back haha....

Honestly its not super low but its lower than stock for sure, its about 1.4 inches lower in the front and 1.2 inches in the rear. The car definitely had its handling improved after I installed the springs due to the lower center of gravity of the vehicle now, I could tell that it handled better due to when I was corning the tires actually didn't squeel as much as they used to and overall the car felt more stable and didn't "float" as much.

It seems like we all realize this at some point, unfortunately, after we wasted our time with springs! Im getting some next summer.. I saw some stance coils on the griver forum for sale for around 800.. from what im reviewing they are better quality than BC

You'll definitely get more enjoyment out of riding the dragon with a proper suspension.

Seems fairly clean

Sorry my post was confusing after reading it again. It meant to read " I just got the 04 pictures" that I have been looking at buying, but it was in a rear end accident in 2004.
