[Mikeb] I've seen your body kit how far off is it from the ground? I dont want any rubbing if I were to get it.

I don't say this lightly.....perfect!

Any lower and it would be too low, and higher and it wouldn't be low enough.

I'll have to keep these springs in mind.

Well it's reported that people are hitiing their wheel wells on the track with those springs.
That means on a rough road it can happen to you!

Why would anyone use Tein springs for the track? Especially when they are designed for street "use" err... looks.

Anyway, slllygrl10 the car looks great.

At least your car looks level.
I've lowered mine with H&R Springs (quoted as 1.0" all around), but my front sits lower then yours and the rears are about the same.
Bizarre!
