Well, after about an hour of installation ( a friend put the springs on the struts w/out spring compressor.. just hands! ) the car was put back on the ground and off for the first impression run. The car settled to the low point almost immediately (At first I was like uhh my front is higher then the back, but it was just thathtey had not settled right yet).

DANG they make a HUGE difference. The car looks waaaay better, rides almost the same (as far as bumpiness) as my stock SE springs/struts, and handles INCREDIBLY..

The setup was expensive but now that its done and payed for, its very nice! Makes my 17" rims look a lot bigger..

I'll post pics very soon.

I think that there is supposed to be more gap in the front since there's more weight in the front, you know, to compensate for dive under hard braking.
