Car looks perfect! Can you tell me really the difference you feel from the stock springs to the H&R springs? I also have to drive around in the city, LA just like you. I am worried the ride will be poor. The car IMO has to be lowered and I have heard for some that Springs suck and some say they payed for the Coilovers and felt the same as springs. Mixed reviews. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Right now it is really hard to say since the springs have not really settled yet and I also have spacers on my car...the ride is definitely worse than stock, however I wont be able to tell you more until I drive it a little more on the hwy, etc. I will probably end up getting some shocks as recommended on the forum. But stocks do feel alot better from the short time that I have driven with this set up...but it was a quick mod I just had to get done.

I have only driven mine for two days and I am still impressed with the performance (haven't figured out how to launch without wheel hop yet but...)

I have a K&N filter, dv's and flash en route and hope to do Milltek exhaust in a month so if what you say is true then I will be a happy guy.

How do you like the spacers? You feel any difference on the road? Can't really tell from the pics but I am guessing it looks much more aggressive. Would you still choose the 15mm and the 18mm if you could do it all again.. Thanks!

Well, in terms of looks I like the spacers...it gives that little extra width to the fill in the fenders. I am unsure about the difference in the road as I installed springs at the same time. I can tell you that the driving experience is different with both spacers and springs and will probably have to upgrade the shocks to make it better. I hope this information helps a little.
