Thanks everyone. I'm really enjoying it so far. I think I will be getting Sam's adjustable sway bars when I can too to help it more.

All the recent talk on the forums and this new suspension is making me want to take a shot at autocross.

jcieutat: Do it! There is no sense in putting it off. I know I was itching to put it all on. I had to wait a full 3 days before I could work on it. Haha.

Looks very nice. It's amazing what a small drop will do for thes cars. Not just looks-wise, but the overall handling. I knew, before I even bought mine, I would be ordering springs/shocks and dampers.

Haha. Yeah same here trust me! I have so many plans for this car it's ridiculous. The funds unfortunately are limited.

nicely done, how much of a difference does it make with the shifted rear end?

Looking good! Those wheels are filling out those wells nicely. Whole 'nother world when you switch from stock to aftermarket springs/dampers, ain't it? haha

Well I can tell a difference over all that is handles a heck of a lot better.

The road in front of my neighborhood is pretty windy with two really sharp 35mph rated turns and I can take them easily at 60 with no chirp of the tires. I can't really speak to the difference of it with and without a panhard bar yet because I don't have one installed aftermarket but it seems to be fine as it is right now. The shift seems minimal. In the OP I said it was about 2-3mm to the driver side to my eye, but it doesn't even appear that far off. From what I hear though, a Watts link seems to be the better way to go as far as balance and performance overall for the rear.

And Wade, yeah it really is. It almost feels night and day. It still sways in turns but it's considerably less in hard cornering and it seems to transition from left to right sway more smoothly and slowly, more controlled basically. I love it!

I still smile ear to ear when I talk about the difference. Hehe.

Nice stance....lowering definitely makes a huge difference! Throw on a black chin spoiler, which will add to the black/red combo. ;-)
