Brady @Pure Automtive lowered my car for me today. Eibach Pro springs. LCAs coming in a few days and then an alignment. Pics

I suspect there should be at least another 1/8" or so of settling. I'm happy.

The ride? Yea, it's firm. But the stock setup is firm too. I would say firmer by about 25%. I didn't expect to feel like there were pillows shoved into the wheel wells, so this isn't a negative. I can't speak to handling, as I'm still on winter tires, but yes, the car handles.

It isn't StanceNation, but that inch does goes a long way (teehee). I have lowered every car I have ever owned, and it has been by a reasonable amount, and this car is no exception. I love the way it looks now.

Just a warning these like to settle more then you think they would. I find the rear settles more then the front does.

Thanks for the heads up

Just raised my ride from what I have now determined as too low. Handles better actually, taller

What lca's will you be running?

SPC. They aren't pretty, but they're relatively inexpensive and get the job done.
