    It is definitely sitting way high in the front. I would recommend coilovers instead of lowering springs however=)

      Im not going to have the money for them this summer. I could afford a ~150 set of springs not a 700 dollar set of coils

          Racelands FTW! Get some and sell them used. Some cheap kid will always buy used Racelands. Plus you can raise them in the winter and sell them next year if you decide to upgrade.

          The car will look so much better lowered. You know the difference it made on my E36...

            I would just get lowering springs rather then cheap coils, even my basic eibach shock/spring kit is a huge performance increase from stock, and the ride quality is great too.  I have not ridden in a car with Racelands but you do get what you pay for.

                ^I think?  It all depends what your goal is, if you want to be slammed go for it.  If you want a performance ride they may not be the best choice.  I have very little fender gap, but I am not tucking either.

                This is all I could find for a quick pic

                                Theres a difference between buying smoked corners and using night shade like a ricer

                                        Thanks for your purchase supporting the site! It was shipped out this morning, forgot to mark that in the store though. Can't wait to see pics of it installed :)
