I just installed Maxspeed springs on the front only over the weekend and my alignment is damn near perfect still. Havent taken it out on the highway so I know that may not be as aligned as it appears but it appears that I lined up everything pretty close.

Funny I just had the same done this past week with Maxspeeds and Tokico Blues on the front ...put it on the rack for alignment and it was perfect

Yeah, it was a nice surprise. Couldnt be happier with the front dropped. Much better stance. Can definitely feel the firmer ride and certianly over bumps that before felt not too bad are a bit more harsh. Didnt help that is was 20 degrees yesterday either. Cant tell yet if I am hitting the bump stops but given the maxpseeds are only 1.4 in the front I wouldnt think so.

ok thanks for all the info on car lowering, so i want 1.4 front 1.3 rear and some of you said get struts with it,so give me the best combo spring and strut that won't drain the pocket book and also still have a decent ride
Thanks HOOGY

Housecor's site listed above is a great resource - many thanks for that as I definitely used it in my decision making process.
I went with Maxspeeds and Tokico HP's (Blues). My car is a daily driver and I was concerned about harshness if I went with a more performance oriented setup. This combo is one of the most cost effective and even though it feels much better to me, my wife said she couldn't tell much different
