For Father's day I washed both the ///M and ZHP. Then I drove my ZHP down to see my daughter and help her do her parking practice (using her mother's car) since she's learning to drive. It was an awesome day and I told her that I will eventually teach her how to drive the ZHP when she's ready to learn a manual...

Thanks Ryan@ JP: Congrats on the historical plates. Very cool.

@ JP... yeah, the historical plates is a really cool thing...
At first I wasn't really a fan of your blacked out/smoked corners and tails but I feel like your black rims pulled it all together for that look you were seemingly going after. Even though it's not really my cup of tea and I wouldn't do it to my car.. but I think yours looks good.

Thanks! I must admit... I have been thinking of doing a lighter tint for the corners... I go through phases where I like them and then want to change them. BTW I see from your sig that you have H&R sport springs. did you notice a drop of any kind after installing them? I am having a hell of a time choosing between racing and sport springs... I would like maybe a 1 inch drop all around however I worry the race springs will lower the car too much for daily driving

Well the H&R Sport Cup Kit apparently comes with race springs.. and I can say I didn't really notice a drop at first. But now when I look at old pictures of my car, I can definitely notice a difference. But would anyone else on the road know I'm dropped and added spacers? Probably not.
Messaggero
interesting that's good to hear... any guesses on what the drop ended up being? what thickness of spacer did you go with?

No, it's very confusing actually, the springs in the Sport Kit are not "Race" Springs, I used to think the same thing. I called H&R... the "Touring Cup Kit" comes with Sport Springs. The "Sport Cup Kit" comes with special springs that you can't buy individually. The Race Springs are completely different springs.

so if touring cup= Sport springs, does the sport kit have a more or less aggressive spring? comparing your two sigs it looks like its less aggressive but its not exactly apples to apples since its vert vs sedan... sounds like I need to find a pic of a sedan with sport springs and a sedan with race springs and compare the two
