I do! Especially since I asked the dealer to leave the shipping film on. I got to unwrap it!

AWESOME! Hahaha I think all of us were a bunch of kids on Xmas day when we got ours. I know I was and still have that feeling when I'm about to go drive it!

@Yruyur- When you got your lowering springs did you purchase new end links? I have read a lot of info on dropping and saw that some need new end links so factory ones don't snap basically.....

No. In fact I'm back at network alignment who installed them to do my free courtesy alignment since the springs have settled. Have an hour and a half wait so I just waxed my car in their parking lot. Feels shiny and smooth now.

Thanks....Looking to get the Eibach pro-kit once i get paid hopefully if everything goes well. Just needed to see if you have any problems yet or notice any problems with them. Any sagging or anything? And i actually did a serious wash this morning on the car! Did a nice wash,wax, and then detailed it up pretty good! Now about to go and wipe it down again to make it extra shinny

I read perrin had their springs out now. I have not had any issues with these. Just that thud noise in the backbeat few times but has been a ling time since I heard that.

Koni is almost ready with their strut kit designed to Handel lowering springs they are talking $110 each could be a cheaper way for great suspension without buying coil overs

only saw on their website that they have h&r springs but nothing perrin related.... I just want that million mile warranty cause i heard lots of people say that springs will later on sag and stuff. But let me know about the alignment also! Lol does it take this long for springs to settle? You had them on since you got the car correct?
