Lowered my baby! PICS
LOWERED PICS AT VERY END
Ok so I lowered my baby and gave her a better sway bar. All I can say is WOW!!!! I ordered the Progress Springs and Swaybar from Cattman and everything fit like a charm.
Some of my favourite corners where I could do them at 100kph I can now do them at 140kph without a hint off tire squeel.
The Progess kit from Cattman is the bomb but make sure you get the sway bar. Anywhoo, I also order the STS kit, however I'm the unfortunate soul that will not have the kit work on my car as the switch lever over the bell housing of the tranny is to small to accomondate the STS.
Here are the pics or my baby before lowering during and after. I will take some better after shots weather permitting.
Also I took shots of the STS kit install but I got pissed of that it didnt fit so I put my camera down and forgot to take the springs after install pics.

Wow
I still cant get over the ride difference, any one out there who ejoys a great handling car should invest in one of thease kits and the sway bar. I might get a FTB if Cattman ever releases one, screw the stillen thing with the rubbing and all.
I was impressed with my car until i ran into this!

I think one can be made to fit our cars. Anyone live near them, would be interesting in checking them out to see if they would do a setup for our rides. I'm willing to buy a kit.
Peace,
Kam

I have Stillen FSTB on my car. Eventhough I am happy with the improvement, I do prefer a stiffer bar; if or when one is available, I'll get one to replace the Stillen. I had GREX FSTB on my old car. It was so stiff that I couldn't flex the bar w/ my whole body weight, unlike Stillen. Brian Catts, are you out there???

I'm waiting to see if these will split before I drop $800+ for new tires. W/ my luck, they won't split.

Since K-sport was mentioned, a shop told me that they are like the D2's...junk! (Their words, not mine.) They told me that they're made in China and that they will fail sooner or later. They advised me to do Tein instead. As of now, Tein only has the basic, not Super Street (with adjustable dapening). What do you guys think?...
Man, great job and awsome pics, that would scare the shimdt out of me if i had to pull that crap out myself. Great Work!

K-Sport Junk, really??? 
I have only heard great things about the Tein set-up on other vehicles, like the Scion tC. They are very popular on those vehicles. So my friends, sell me on these puppies... I like that you can adjust the settings if need be.. I am not a tech'y when it comes to these things, so if someone would school me on the use of coilovers and how they benefit the driver, plase let me know.. I understand the concept of how they work, but the use and positioning would better explainthings for me.. I appreciate it.. Thanks... Later....

Yes pics will be up tommorow
Yes pics will be up tommorow evening of the finished ride on catman springs. None the less, after driving it for a week and letting the setup settle a bit, I will be taking it to my local allignment shop next Thursday to get a final allignment. It rides almost perfect without the allignment but I want to be sure just in case.
Anywhoo, all i can still say is wow!!! Cant believe how much difference it made in the handling of my car. I love this ride all over again, NOW IF i could only get it Aspirated some how
MUAHAHAHAH
I will wash her up tommorow and post some pics lowered and cleaned.
Thanks to Brian Catts of Cattman Performance for the amazing customer service and product.
My uncle doesnt look that scary does he??? Guess it must be a polish thing.
Take Care,
Kam
