Update on the R2 coilovers:

I have the car lowered about 0.5" all around (rough estimate). I'll keep it at that until I get can get an alignment this week. The final ride height will be pretty much dependent on how much camber is in the back, eg., raise ride height to decrease camber, and lower ride height to increase camber.

Some first impressions:
Ride quality is VERY compliant for my tastes, and I'm on 500/650 springs. I drove on some rough roads and my butt says that it's only about 35% more harsh than OEM.

There's very little dive when I brake hard. This is probably caused by a couple of things though. The tires weren't fully warmed up (Dunlop DII), and XP10 pads lock up the rotors very quickly even when they're cold.

I removed my driveshaft, (took about an hour total) and dropped it off with FedEx. Now the waiting game...

I got there just after 2AM, didnt see you anymore.

We had a good turnout today, hopefully more people shows up when their car is ready. Thanks for stopping by though. Hopefully next time we'll bump into each other.

2AM LOL! You must have been the first one there haha! I had a good time though! All the guys there were friendly and had nice cars. I even ran into a few familiar faces. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put a face to your avatar next time.
