Initial impressions:

I like them!!!!!

Body roll is now non-existant. The car moves sideways now when doing quick lane changes at speed. Initial turn-in is much quicker and the car does have a more sporty overall feel to it. I honestly cannot tell ANY difference in ride quality whatsoever. I think that may be due to the fact that the roads are generally smooth here in the desert southwest. I was trying to convince myself that the bumps are a little more harsh, but I just can't do it. I really can't tell a difference.

Gold, you will start to notice the fimrer ride difference very soon. And then I think the bushing start to adjust to the new geometry and you'll forget about the stock ride even more. There is no more noise than stock but the ride is definitely firmer.

They look great and the handling … phew, what a diff.
I hope you had the alignment done?

Man--a small child could get stuck in that front wheel well gap!! The wheel gap on my front tires looks less than yours, however, b/c I have the trim guards. I'm hopin my mechanic can lower my car even a little bit more when my Konis go in in a week. I'd like the front and back to be perfectly even with just a hint of wheel well gap above each wheel.

Looks sweet Gold!!! You must let me know how you like the sways. I'm thinking about those as well. Alright, now hurry up and get the fund going for some BBS wheels and I'll pony up for the sways.

Yeah, we'll definitely have to meet now and compare rides. Maybe in 2 weeks?? I'll be up there this Saturday but only to look at a house I'm considering buying, then right back down to Tuc! Let me know if you ever venture down to the 'ol Pueblo
