We are about 20 minutes west of Six Flags. I think I'm just going to go ahead with it haha. I am going to order that night shade spray, but it says not to use it on headlights. Is that just a rule thing or can I use that on the head lights too?

It's keeping them from being legally liable when you get nailed for impeding headlight/taillight intensity.

if you just want the car to be lower, get some ford racing c springs or roush lowering springs. very inexpensive and they look good/function decently well. If you want performance suspension, dont waste your time with lowering springs and tokicos or kyb's. Get some maximum motorsports or griggs racing coilovers and CC plates, with koni adjustable struts/shocks.

Now you're talking.. I have a buddy that has had lowering springs and coilovers. He said they don't ride much different. What do you think?

My bad, misread it. I've always heard the opposite. What was his setup before and after?

I ran coil overs on mine for several months back in the day (Ground Pounder road race set up). The car handled SOOO much nicer on them. I had to swap back to the 'stock' spring placement to keep in the lower classes of racing. Moving the spring to around the strut bumped me up too high, and I was having my butt kicked.

Matt did you run your coil overs with Bilstein struts? I ask because I am still pondering the idea of running coil overs with Bilstein struts and either D-spec or Bilstein shocks...
