I have H&Rs on my car set up with AGXs. Very popular set up for a mild drop and a great ride. The ride is slightly harsh...meaning you can feel the road more. check the sig, hope this helps in your decision.

those are 17s BTW.

1.5" on H&R springs

Springs were $200 and Illuminas were another $450. Install was $100 through a fellow org member. Shops wanted $600 for labor.

Nice car Euro but the pics flash too fast.. Cant really enjoy the pics.. maybe half the speed would be very nice. When you drop the car more than 1.5" you are risking warranty rejects and then you are getting into camber kits and all of that.. i dont wanna deal with any of that crap..
