I'm FINALLY Lowered!

Woo-hoo! I just had Bilstein HD shocks and H&R springs installed. It lowered my baby about 1.5". WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The ride and handling is fantastic. Also, I can't believe what a visual difference 1.5" makes for the car. This is the best mod I have done yet. Highly recommend!

perfect! It is amazing the visual difference (however my wife rolled her eyes when I brought mine home). Love those red calipers.

Nice! I'm looking at doing the same, what made you go with the HD's vs the PSS10's? I'm looking at HD's and M030's

Frankly, it was price. I'm not tracking my car so the cost / benefit of the PSS10's simply was not there for me.

Thanks for the great comments. You guys always make me feel smarter than I am!

Yup, perfect ride height there ...nicely done! BTW, have you noticed that the 17" cups look better with "proper" ride height? I thought I wanted to go to 18s ...long ago, when I was at stock height. Now I think she looks perfect! Enjoy!
