haha yea I feel that way now and I haven't done anything to the car. (my first mod was taking off the sunroof visor)

I love the HFP lip kit though. Looks so nice. That'll probably next year though.

you don't need camber kits, but some people get them. It's not as important to get this with this setup as it is with lowering springs and other suspension setups

How quiet is this suspension? I've lowered/upgraded suspensions on my 95 M3 and my 04 cobra, and always get annoying noises as a side effect (creaking, thumps, etc...). I figure since this is HFP, it should be quieter than any Eibach/H&R + shock combo.

So which one do you like more? Have you had any problems with your Skunk2?

I like the fact that the HFP gets good reviews, but I wish it had a lower drop.
