What? You said you have the race springs.

Currently; and I measured, I have a 3.5 INCH GAP between my tire and the fender..... MY CAR IS A MONSTER TRUCK.

Sooo... no one has the sport springs that can tell me if they are worth while?
I said I had both. Currently I have sport springs. I had the race springs on my sedan (which got totaled)

I just installed Neuspeed Sport Springs with Bilstein Grooved Sport Shocks. The grooved shocks allow you to adjust ride height quite well and this new combo is definitely stiffer than my stock sport setup. I'm happy and in my opinion would be too bouncy with stiffer (race) springs. I took some pics for ya.

That looks pretty sweet. When you say you can adjust the height.... does that mean you can go lower? Thanks... I dont want something on the ground. How does it handle in the corners? My STOCK suspension, not sport suspension, is soo sloppy.

I could go another 10mm (3/8") lower than the current setup. But, I can barely get a floor jack under it now so I'm not going to do that. If you get the grooved bilstein struts (a cheaper alternative to coilovers) you can raise or lower to about 1" HIGHER than stock to about 2" lower than stock in 10mm increments. I may/may not raise the car for the winter, but it's good to know I can. Right now it only has a little over 3" of ground clearance, not good for winter driving.

It handles incredibly well with great turn-in and exceptional road feel, even better than stock sport, which was excellent. One thing to plan on is upgrading your rear sway bar. The stock one is (I think) 11mm standard, 15mm for sport package, but either way, too small. Since I tightened up the struts/springs I now have alot of understeer. Neuspeed has upgraded sway bars (rear is 19mm) which will correct the problem I have in the rear. Without sport package up front (stock 32mm front sway bar) I would plan on a complete sway bar package, front and rear, whereas I'm pretty sure I only need the rear to bring it back to neutral or even a bit of oversteer (yee haa).

I'm ordering the rear sway bar so I'll let you know once I get it installed.

Sweet. I just ordered a new rear sway bar. You ought to ask them while they're at it ... if you can choke on another few hundred bucks.

Enjoy!
