The drop looks great, I'm torn between the Eibachs and H&R springs myself. Did you get new isolators when you picked up your springs? And I gotta tell ya', the exhaust tips on the Flowmasters (what you said you've got in your sig) looks incredible. Very nice looking ride.

I went with H&R Sport Springs. IMO, it gives it the best stance. I am running longtubes and I am yet to scrape. I am also running stock ISO's all around.

Assuming you've had these for a decent amount of time, how is the ride quality? Did you notice much of a difference between stock and the H&R springs from the get-go, and has quality stayed about the same or gotten a bit rougher as time has passed? One last question, did you pick up a camber kit with these or added once since they were installed?

Thanks!

The ride quality stayed somewhat the same. It did get stiffer but that is a good thing. The IRS helps a lot in the ride quality. I have had them for about a year. I recently added MM FL subframes which made the ride even stiffer and helped with body roll. The amount of drop these springs give, cc plates are a must. I installed the springs and cc plates in the same day and went for an alignment the next morning because that is also a must. You can add MM ISO's which will raise it just a little.

My full suspension setup looks like this:

H&R Sport Spring
Stock ISO's
MM CC Plates
MM Strut tower bar
MM FL Subframes
