I don't realy mind the door molding. I was thinking of taking it off but I'm afraid to mess with it and possibly peel the paint or make some mark on the door. It's factory. If I take it off someone will probably ding the door the next day. I may ask the guy at the bodyshop if it would do any damage if I take it off.

nice car man....i'm thinking about getting that set-up too...did you get CC plates?...i have all these choices about suspension...i plan on doing it this summer but IDK what i am gonna go with yet....btw....do you actually like the door molding?
Yes I got the Maximum Mortorsports CC Plates. The car will handle better with the spherical bearing instead of the rubber one.

I think it was Steeda's site that I read that the best handling comes from about a 1.25 drop. Handling is more important than a slammed look to me. I Think it was 1 3/8 front and 1 1/4 rear when I measured it. It definetely handles wicked though. The ride is not harsh either with the Illuminas set in the middle. In fact I believe the ride may be nicer than stock yet handles much much better.

Yeah I wouldn't mind getting that MM swaybar myself. When I was testing it out it seemed like the rear rolls a little too much when taking a very hard corner but the front sticks nice. Haven't really noticed it rolling very much lately though.

That thread someone linked was mine....car rides great. My shocks were abused with 66k miles on them, so it's like a new car.

The biggest problem with the rear handling on the car is the rear moving back and forst during hard turning. I'm looking into MM's panhard bar to correct that issue. And hopefully I get my subframe connectors soon
