Default New H&R springs....pics....

Wow...Much better visually and with the new alignment it turns in much better and with less understeer.

Not much bumpier at all either..Actually rides more like a sports car now!

Last pic is before shot...FYI...............

Your car looks really nice Robert. Do you have any before pics you can post that are from the same camera angle for comparison?

Wow, what a difference. Thanks for posting the before pic. Your before pic looks like you had purposely jacked up your car in the rear! Were you able to measure the drop at all? Looks like about 2 inches at least! Big difference. You no longer have the SUV or dune buggy look! Car looks much, much better. So do you prefer the ride over the stock springs? Is it harsh at all?

Your Avatar looks much, much better now too!

Your car looks much shinier now too. Did you buff it out some? Looks so much better!

Thanks guys...The ride is not much bumpier at all...even Jae lee at Mirage International said it felt perfect. I think it dropped it 1.25 or so.

The thing looked whack before to me. It also raised up so much on full throttle escpecially if turning as well...much more plaanted now all the way around.

I have been using the stuff from autopia to wash and spray clean etc....Got to wax it soon and do the step program!

Oh yeah, I remember you were going to clay it. How'd that go? Well, by the looks of it, seems like it went well. Good job Robert! I'm jealous! Glad you were able to check out Autopia. You can't go wrong there! Are you sure you didn't already do the steps to the Perfect Shine?

Robert - Do you have PSM on this car? If so, were/are there any problems or issues?

Looks great!

Hi - love the look of the car with the H & R Springs - which particular springs did you get fitted? I want to do lower mine - more for a planted feel than anything else and am not sure which ones to go for...

Rss997 - I have a question, and NO I am not trying to be a smart-***! I always thought "Triple Black" referred to a Cab with Black Paint, Interior, and Top. Your SIG states "Triple Black" but you appear to have a Coupe. I don't understand what the 3rd Black is! Can you clarify for me?
