[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 1268539, member: 7795"] #1: Time for some 18s. #2: do NOT use '03/04 springs I have '03 Bilsteins on my '01 with Eibach Pro-kit springs (with a half coil cut off the front for a better SLIGHTLY raked stance). From my experience, I LOVE this combo and do not have the issues you describe. I also installed 18" afs '03 replicas at the same and occassionally put the 17" Cobra Rs off my '91 on the Cobra (to use the DRs and save some weight up front), so trust me when I say the 18s make the car have better road ground clearance. For the '03/04 models, you know they gained about 200+#s right?---and where did they gain it?---yep, over the nose with an iron block/supercharger/IC, etc. So, what happens when you install those on our cars?---bingo, the nose doesn't drop and you get that sweet (sarcasm) reverse rake. Now, its not that bad, but all I'm trying to say is don't do it. I'd suggest either getting slightly taller wheels/tires, or maybe swapping springs. I personally like the H&R drop, but I think it is on the aggressive side and much better if you live in an area with nice roads. Good luck, J [/QUOTE]
