Sweet, well let me know if she doesnt like the ride, I'll more than likely want to trade for those.

That road is great for working out your steering, not so much for the suspension though. There isnt enough room or speed around those corners to compress anything at all. But hey I'll run it again, make sure you practice

This is not street racing, the area we are talking about is a nice controlled area where we do a little "aggressive" driving, not to exceed posted speed limits or break any laws.

I have cut a coil of sportlines

Do you have more details on how you did this? i'm considering it since I would like to have a little bit more lower than the sportlines i have on it. But I wouldn't want to do the rake.. can I not cut the backs as well? even if its not by much?

Thanks.

The backs will not cut without coming unseated when the suspension gets light or unloads, trust me, you don't want a spring running away at speed.

That's how it always works with new cars.

H&R, B&G are both lower than Sportlines. You could pickup a cheaper set of coilovers or a used set for under $1000.

$800 is probably the lowest you're going to find for new. Used I've seen as low at $500.
