Thanks - Did you 'load' the suspension before tightening everything down? Initially, for the front, there wasn't much drop....then, we loosened everything back up, set it back on the ground, and I sat on the fender while my installer re-tightened all, and the front was much better.
I am, however, having a bit of a problem (I think) with the rear....I get a very loud banging noise when going over sharp bumps (at 10-30mph)...you experience any of this?

Yes, I did the front "loading" twice to make sure I get the max drop.

Never had any suspension noise since I got my Eibachs. Make sure the springs are oriented (seated) correctly on the shocks.

Sweet drop!

Gives the car a much more agressive stance. I dig it.

I also have to say that I like the pinstripes. Subtle, yet noticeable when looking at it up close. Did you do it yourself? Any info? Gracias!

Pin striping was already done when we bought the car off of the dealer showroom floor. Looks to me like a good quality job and we also liked it as it adds just a bit extra to the lines of the car. I'm not sure who/where it was done but it has a signature of 'Moffitt'
