Nice dude, just get some pictures of it, I think I am going to get some strut and sway bars later down the road. It hugs the road now but I really want to get into it. Be careful bobbing and weaving in traffic, its lots of fun but I got pulled over like 2 days after I redid my struts got a damn carless driving ticket

i love the ride quality with this setup. i can feel all the bumps in the road, but it is not harsh at all. grips like no other now in turns, and i even have bald ass tires. today (wed) its getting the alignment so hopefully i can borrow a digital camera in the next couple days to snap a few pics for up here.

lowering our cars is mandatory, it would be sinful not to.

Sportlines definately rule. I still say, My eclipse handles way better on tight corners than my z3 roadster. Believe it or not there are corners that the z squeals rubber around and has slight roll. The eclipse just hugs them real snug.

Of course my Z is WAAAAAAAAAAAY Faster however, and a mtx!
