looks great! i mean really really good!

but the ride must have gone south big time? i thought the h&r sport springs resulted in a bouncy ride - with the race, it must be even worse?

H&R race springs and ......

an aftermarket shock such as the Koni FSD really helps to keep the ride VERY close to what the stock sport suspension w/ rnflts feels like.

I was hesitant to lose the ride quality of the Eibach Pro-Kit but, am glad I made the switch since the quality is nearly unchanged.

OP, car looks great bro.

the ride quality has definitely deteriorated with the springs, i don't mind too much but i've had complaints from females that sit shotgun.. lol

i wish the Koni FSD's were available for the xi cars, but i don't think that's gonna happen netime soon so i'm looking into a set of kw v1's or h&r's.. canadian group buy ftw!

No doubt, looks great.

Isn't this the definition (and I mean this in the nicest way) Ghetto Slammed (stock wheels & slammed)?

I am strongly considering dropping mine. Just wondering how much complaining I am going to put up with from the Mrs.

I hear that KW V3's are the only KW option for us AWD guys. Any truth to that?

That is a kick ass combo. I am from the Great Lakes area and haven't seen it in real life. What is the weight on those?

Either way, I say go for it.
