Awesome...you'll definetely have to share some pics and the settings you put the coilovers at. I'm interested in hearing how they ride compared to stock because I'm at the moment looking to drop my ride as well.

Look at some of bforbrian's pics. He did/does have just the "T" on the bottom portion of his front door towards the front wheels. Looked tasteful if you're gonna do it.

actually you should probbaly wait a week or two. The springs will still settle a little bit and will be a little lower..
