Cheers mate, that was one of the first things I did, I forget I've even done it because i'm so used to seeing it, but I still get comments when I take passengers, always a good reminder!

Are you still thinking about coilovers and if so next time there is a cruise you can have a go in my car to see if you like the ride or not :)

Picking up some bilsteins with sti pinks next week.

Hopefully this is a happy medium

Coilovers will kill it for me, I hate the rough feeling on the road

Have you actually ridden in a car with properly set up coilovers?

+1. Coilovers aren't the devil everyone thinks they are. If you opt for soft dampening and get soft spring rates, it'll actually be more comfortable than your existing set up.

That is a good price in my opinion and coilovers are about double but the value is in the eye of the beholder :)
