I got the street performance set. It adjusts from 1-2.5" and it ended up being the perfect feeling ride for me. After the winter I will drop 'er another inch or so. As she sits in the pic it's about a 1" drop. Is that black plastic cover on top supposed to come with the set? The old ones are still on.

Looks good. My brake line(s) are doing the same exact thing. Thats next on the list. I was going to go SS until I found that I can replace with oem for $12.

$12 per line, so $24 for the fronts. My rears are fine. I'm not trying to spend any more than necessary on the 97. There are too many things on the to do list that need done in a very short amount of time.

Anyways. Where did the H&R coil overs come from? How do they handle, etc.???

I paid $1200 for the set from direct tire... they marked them up just a lil I'm sure cuz I think I found the spot the bought them from in Peobody,MA. I went on H&R's website and they have 3 dealers locally. Also, had to pay $130 for the tie rod assembly.

The ride is incredible though... I have not put them to the limit yet though so I don't know the
kickout points. Feels really nice on the on/off ramp though. Just need to get used to going slow in and out of driveways. I scraped the rail going into the carwash.
