Okay the addition of Sportlines is done. My photochop was pretty close to the actual results!

Contrast in light was done on purpose to show off body lines.

I thought it would be really nice to shave the doors too.


I think this is the best spring kit going. WHy? balanced height when you done. the ride is better than old over sharp edged bumps (you dont feel every crack in the road) the only negative is that it is easier to bottom out the suspension.
I have not cut bump stops as many said it is not needed. If you have and feel its necessary please PM me. that would be great.

Thanks for looking

wow that looks great! i love the shaved trunk, and i esp hate that keyhole! about the springs: sorry to say, but once they get broken in, the dont ride like they do now. they get much firmer. about the bumpstops: it is very necesarry to cut them to the specifications provided in the eibach instructions. you only have maybe 2 inches of travel right now. i know here in ft.laud/miami if i didnt cut mine i wouldve had some serious issues. my indash lcd already broke from my sportlines bottoming out on a rough transition on the interstate. again, thats a super-sharp car!

My springs were used (the person got H&R)

I do want the best possible ride. Can you tell me what Eibach says as to how much to trim. I am familiar with suspension and theories and all as I have racing motocross, ice racing, Offroad 4x4 experience. thanks

looks awesome, now if it were black and mine it would be perfect haha. I'd shave the doors if you are thinking about it. That always cleans a shaven car up nice.

It will happen oneday and against some peoples opinions I may put on a proven lambo door conversion too with poppers.
