Lol.....these cars should all come with a complimentary box of lowering springs when you purchase them.

Car looks much better.

The ride quality in all honestly feels just like stock but just a bit stiffer. Very comfortable for everyday driving. I am on bad roads all day everyday with this car and it feels great. I sometimes think to myself, even with the bad road conditions, that I should of gone a bit stiffer with the Sport springs. I know though that I made good choice with this setup.

If I had to rate my happiness, it would go like this:

Lowered Look: 10/10 I'm fine with the fender gap although I'm sure others would prefer it to be a little lower. I'm happy with it.

Ride Quality: 9.5/10 Like I said it feels like stock but when you hit a rut or a bump in the road, you can feel its a little stiffer/rougher. Even with that said though, I love how much smoother it feels on non-crappy roads and at higher speeds. How much smoother the vehicle rides makes up for the bumps and bad roads.

Handling:8ish/10 I feel like it should be a little tighter in corners but that's only because I didn't get the sway bars. I wish I did now but once I get those I know my rating will change to a 10.

With the gt500 being a heavier car is there a reason you went with 500 goodies/

Got the car aligned and wheels balanced. They didn't even need to use the camber bolts.
