I lowered my redline a couple of weeks ago and finally got some pictures. If you would like to see the pictures you can go to my cardomain site.

I have had them a few months now and the ride on mine is pretty much the same feel as stock. The lower center of gravity really helps in the corners.

Well I ordered the springs off ebay and I installed them myself. The ride is a little stiffer than factory but I think you would be okay with 18's.

The drop is about 2"...looks great. Later on, though, I want to get some much stiffer springs that will work for autocross - these aren't much stiffer than stock.

I personally want a company to make some stiffer springs with a 1 inch drop. It'll get rid of most of the wheel gap and keep it from scraping on most things. Also, help with the handling.

Hell the camber was right on the only thing they had to do was adjust the toe on the pass side. It was easy to do. The only hard part was getting the car on the rack they had to use all kinds of crap to keep the middle of the car from bottoming out.
