Agree here... I ran my last car on Eibach Pro-kit with stock struts, put about 100K on her doing that, still handled and rode just fine when I sold it. Besides, this is just a temporary/we'll see situation... If the stance is good, then I'll get struts and a few other maintenance items to match... But if I don't need coilovers to get the right stance, then I'm going to skip them and save the money for other mods.Originally Posted by UdubBadger

Yeah but the shocks weren't designed to handle those kinds of springs, so the ride isn't as good as it can be.

Nice Joop! Let us know how it goes. And yes, it's def recommended to upgrade both with the uprated springs.

True, a touch stiff but not horrible. The hr springs on stock struts hurt your ass

Joop, what springs are that? Definitely interested in what your thoughts are once you get them on.

Running lowering springs on stock shocks might not blow them however the dampening won't be matched. And you won't be able to adjust it either.

Nice Charlie! Simple install usually, but let me know if I can help. Also, FWIW I installed my small SIRIUS antenna underneath the rear parcel shelf. Reception isn't perfect with tall trees or buildings nearby, but easier then running the antenna outside the car.I ordered a SIRIUS module for my ZHP today... got more stuff ordered...

Funny you mention this Brett, I have my Sirius antenna mounted on top of my rear parcel shelf centerline.

Today I removed the plastidip from my wheels. In prep for getting them refinished.
Hope to have finished pics soon.
