sorry, haven't visited the boards recently! anyway, i love these coilovers, i forgot what i set them at already but i didn't set them very stiff. overall, the car handles better but the drive is still "comfortable" for me, for my girlfriend, different story! not the most technical review but overall i am satisfied with the purchase! i would recommend these coilovers especially at the price i got them at! thanks ADAM!!!!!

Lmao that's what I thought, what kind of a "shop" throws springs on upside
down? You definatly got the new kid and your car was unfortunatly his
"learning project" because I hope to god that it wasn't an actual technician

Doesn't surprise me at all how they did that. And, your in Seattle. I hope you didn't take it to a shop on the East Side. A lot of shops hire crap mechanics that don't even have an ASE Certification. I could tell you horror stories about a few shops in the Northwest.

It looks a lot better now. Is that the lowest ride-height in the rear?

looks good to me...

remember to ask for shorter rears if you want to be able to slam it.

also these now are coming with rubber mounts instead of solid because owners were complaining of some noise, so if you plan on tracking the car etc make sure you ask for the solid mount version over ruber.

Wow, I've read about this way too often. How can so many shops install springs
upside down. It's really bothering lol.
anyway congrats on getting it worked out, looks great!
