question for the poster:

What struts are you using with the 2" drop? Stock ones for now? (If so that's probably why you're bouncing a lot - be careful!)

Did you get an alignment, and if so, what's your camber now at?

the car looks purty, I like that color. i would like to see closer pics, i.e. wheel well and a perpendicular side shot, instead of the angles.

good question ususally anything above 1.5inch drop camber.. im sure you already know that.. but if that happens i might have to buy camber kits and koni's and put it all on at once

yes, unfortunately, the hot looking drops run more than the cost of the springs. konis aren't cheap. camber kits are, but unless you live in an area with shops that do this sort of thing, finding a shop to install the kit can also be trouble.

don't skimp on the camber kit if you put one in. I've heard horror stories about bolts snapping in transit leaving quite an ugly mess. Until you install a kit, rotate your tires every 1000 miles to save them.

ohh yea i know koni's are pricey.. but i live in houston and theres a bunch of shops around... but i dont think ill be ordering anything from them... mostly online products and have it shipped to my house.. and my friend works at a shop.. so he has all the tools to put anything on.. and i just have to repay him by just taking him out for some sushi hahaha

Nope. Ive noticed that on many maroon colored cars. My old car a chrysler Sebring, right after a car wash would look the same way. It just has a "thing" after you wash and wax it.

hmm, the drop looks a lil similar to the sportlines the rears are still having a tad bit more of a gap than the fronts. but im sure itll even out much better when they are settled in. congrats on the upgrade, i wanted to go with neuspeed but i thought they were recalling them, guess they fixed the problem.
