it's nice to have ur car tuckin tires, but the tire rub taking hard turns is a bitch. lol i rose my coils a bit cuz of that. either way, coilovers>springs. convenience factor. sorta a hassle to adjust the coils when you do it, but worth it when you need it

I'm thinking that Tein only has one spring rate for both the V6 and inline 4. If these springs were on a 3.0, I'd imagine the extra weight would make it sit level.

Coilovers are definitely the way to go if you're willing to spend the cash. I just wanted a little better stance and a smooth ride. These springs seem to fit the bill.

Here's a teaser shot of my 98 3.0

I shaved the back... left the A though. I got some 18's on there but I want to get it lowered first before I do a nice photoshoot. I was also looking into painting my grill... the gold is starting to fade.
