Oooooo... purty! Was this in another thread I was reading about these being packaged with the Koni adjustables?

I might have to give em a try if thats still available in a few weeks.

Nice to see you finally installed your setup. How's the ride? Firm? From the pics it doesn't look too slammed....what's the drop?

Really nice car btw, that interior is sssooo mint!

tks!

drop is rated at about 1.6", I think it is actually a little more. Maybe 1.6" rear and more like 1.8" front... I am just approximating.

ride is good, not too much different than stock until you oush it w/ the konis on full soft, i was getting some rubbing on the front (et 25, 15 x 7, 225/50 Toyo T-1s). bumped the konis up to about 1/2, and it hasn't happened again.

body roll is much better controlled than the stock iS springs, and this seems to be a very good compromise between a full GC setup (which i have on my otehr car and which i took a spin in BeauB's car), and a more moderate setup.

but it's really too early to tell, yet, becaue i haven't had the car out to auto-x or taken on a really twisty drive.
