ACS Springs

I went back & forth for about a year mulling whether I should do Springs or Coils. I really like the flexibility of coils, but they are a bit pricy. Typically, I only drive my car on weekends as I travel for work... so with that in mind, I went with ACS springs. I know a lot of folks have complained that the drop wasn't enough.. but I don't know, they look pretty sweet so far. Got them done about two weeks back. Drop is about 1.3 in the front & 1.2 in the rear; pretty nice stance. Cornering is a lot better & responsive.. def the way it should have been.

lol! it's nice to be able to adjust the coils when bringing your car into the dealership. my car sits low with minimal gap. i thought about springs but like others mentioned in other threads the gap was still too much. i think it's all preference really. some guys want it lowered but not too much. some want to go a bit more lower than the ACS which than most guys will go with the H&R's. than there's guys like me who want to dump her with no wheel gap!

Sitting real low I see.. looks great man! The roads by me are not forgiving.. your car would be crying out here.

In terms of mods, not sure. I've done a good amount; Remus Quad Exhaust, BMS Intake, JB4, AR Design DP's, ACS Springs, BMS Spacers, tints & trunk lip. Maybe some small things like changing out the foglight switch to enable the rear fog lights.. replacing those frontside bumper reflectors to match the body. Maybe wheels after the coming winter.. but I sorta like the stock wheels. ?????
