P.S
your car looks great,I like the street scene front fascia(is that the generation 2?).I was thinking of getting one and was wondering about the cost of painting and installation(sorry I know I should look in the appearance section-just thought I would try!)
and apologies to F1Fan as I keep referring to him as F1

311 posts in one thread - wow. I've read the first 1/2 of them so far. Whew.

Here's my goal - lower the car, keep a comfortable daily driving feel, keep matched performance between springs and struts. I don't scream around corners much, so high speed handling performance isn't a big deal to me.

So I'll mostly likely get the Eibach pro kit. I see Tokico D-spec's strongly recommended. But for those of us looking to save a buck that don't care so much about having the absolute best or most optimum - what's are decent non-adjustable shocks & struts to go with the Eibach pro kit?

Why not just go with Eibach's matched struts?

I fee a litttle bad, as I went and "tested" a shelby GT just to see what the ride was like with FRPP handling package.It did not seem bad at all at least compared to my current stock set up,but I also already have 60,000 miles.I hope to have my FRPP springs and struts installed at the weekend

Is the ride worse or better with a coil over kit?

-Compared to Tokico Struts w/ springs

Default shelby gt500 springs

would there be any advantage to putting gt500 take off springs in? would like to lower the rear a little for looks but still keep the rake would roush springs be better?
