That looks sharp! I always kind of wished I had gotten Silverstone instead.

You all should have seen them yesterday at Hooters. Pictures never do justice to anything. They are awesome in person.

Looks good.......I mean, it' ain't no 2000 Honda Prelude.......but it looks good....j/k. I'm glad you left the splash guards off it as well.

And no, you don't need a different antenna.

Hey walkert, I got the Eibach pro kit as well, but have not installed them. How is the ride compared to stock?

Car looks sweet by the way. Damn fine job.

The biggest difference is on the highway. I think the lower center of gravity totally changes the car at 100+. It use to float alittle and that made me real nervous. I love the ride. I would buy these again if I had to. I have used prokits on two of my cars and never had an issue with them.

Thanks guys of the replys!

I installed the pro kit. In my opinion the ride is a little harsh. It may be the combination of the low profile tires/springs, but I would prefer it to be a little softer. On the highway it feels fine, but on some crappy Houston roads it sucks.
