Pros:

Car looks great, it will look even better once I swap it out with my new wheels (G-Games 99B +22 offset).

Handling is definitely improved although I have yet to drive a good twisty road.

Normal road bumps seem to be handled like the OEM springs

Cons:

I have to take a different entrance into my parking lot at work. There is a good size dip that I can't navigate easily without scraping.

The car seems to be bouncy with height changes on the interstate (for example before a small bridge). I lower my speed when I see them and don't scrape but I was hoping that the springs would handle these situations better.

I have yet to tackle a speedbump but I will have tomorrow to see how that goes. No allignment yet so I can't comment on if I will need a camber kit.

If anyone is experiencing different results from me, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Finally, what is the proper method for measuring my ride height?

Thanks!

I will post pictures this weekend once I get my new wheels put on.
