Had my Sports-i's installed about 3 weeks ago, love them on the road. Question about yours, at very low/no speed I am getting minor clunking from the front springs, do you experience the same? I know this can be normal for some coils, unsure about Sports-i's though.

I do get some clunking. It almost only happens during driveway ingress / egress. They have thrust bearings and really shouldn't be doing it, but they do. It doesn't bother me at this point, as I've had them now for about 7,000 miles; I take it as "normal."

The occasional clunking is absolutely the only negative that I've found. Otherwise, the coils are absolutely phenomenal. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable, daily-able coils I've ever owned.

in the original picture it looks like you have the white fender trim but in the later pics looks like you switched out to the chrome fender trim. 80 dollars for two of them, i think i want to switch em out to the chrome too.

I had removed the chrome when I first got the car - I was anti-chrome from my Miata days - but I ended up liking the way the chrome looks. I'm going for this OEM+ look, so it jived well with my theme.

I wouldn't go with the chrome on darker colored cars with darker colorways, but it looks great on white - gives it some much needed depth.

Oh shizzz I gots people here! Thanks y'all. I'll take more pictures soon - only major change is the tint.

The CHP got me so I had to strip the dark stuff. i ended up retinting with 3M Crystalline (CR70) film. It lets 70% of light through so it looks nearly stock, but has phenomenal heat rejection properties. Best of both worlds, IMO, and certainly less conspicuous (plus I got to tint an additional window......)
