          @unvmyrs,

          Sure, this is what I think it might look like with the hotchkis springs or any other moderate drop.

          *EDIT*: I also think Strano has his own springs in stock now too. Those are pretty popular.

                Yea it looks way sexier that way :-). You should definitely do it. The fronts are a major PITA to do so besides all the parts you'll need a full day and preferably a lift. Rear's take like... half hour though! Glad you like my photoshop work.

                  So is the hotchkis kit good for v8's? As I said, I want reliability. Yeah baller, you called it. :)

                    It should look a bit better on the v8 since you have more weight up front. With the V6 the front doesn't drop enough on the Hotchkis. They're a good spring as far as I'm concerned. I like that they're progressive rate, it's not as good for road racing handling as a flat rate spring, but it's more comfortable and a lot better than stock when it comes to handling. You won't bounce around any more, but it won't feel too much like a gocart either. The Strano springs are supposed to be great too, so are the Eibachs. Some people prefer an lower ride with a larger drop for a 'dumped' look, but I can't imagine the handling is very good that way.

                    I needed an adjustable panhard bar to even my rear axle. It wasn't off by a lot, but once I notice something like that it drives my OCD to insanity. Many guys i know are happy at a 1/4 inch tolerance, but I can't handle that :-/. If I can notice it, it's bad.

                        I thought I was the only one with OCD over silly things no one else would ever notice... :)
                        Thanks Everyone for your kind words. I need to get 894 HID bulbs for my fogs. I have the ballasts. I am leaning towards 3000K, which generally seems to be the best option for fog lights. Or should I also do those in 6000K? As for lowering, I am definately in the market for that and it is on my list. You all talked me into it. I wasn't going to lower it because I put the RS kit on it, but Kristens seems to be doing fine, and it's lowered... so I'll give it a whirl. More "potential" future mods are as follows; let me know if they'd look good. Or oneeightseven, since you're so skilled at photoshop, maybe you'd chop them for me in your free time. :) I'm considering a painted manta stripe with a pinstripe around it. 3000K Fogs... shorty antenna... blacking out the front turn signals... and I know I am going to get bashed for this one, but it's just a thought...(this is where cool mods are created, in peoples minds.) The possibility of molding a duckbill to the SS spoiler. Let the bashing begin! :P I just want to see what it'd look like...

                          6000k fogs or BAN! haha. but no really the 3000k's wouldn't look that great IMO.

                          pinstripe --- questionable. not my style.

                          1" drop --- check.

                          shorty antenna --- check.

                          niteshade corners (looks great with the rest of your tint and taillights) --- check.

                          duckbill spoiler --- boo this man! lol.

                            I'm a fan of yellow fogs. I'm running ~4100K headlights and ~3000K fogs and I think it looks nice and is practical.

                            I have ~3800K heads and 4300K fogs in the maro. I personally would do 3000K fogs if I had whiter headlights.. 6000K + 3000K would get you a nice color in the middle that would be a little easier on the eyes and increase visibility. A big part of the reason there is a difference in color temps is actually perceived brightness rather than actual brightness. So two lights, lets say blue and green, are shining with the same power (watts), the green light will appear brighter because our eyes are more sensitive to green than they are to white. Same thing goes when choosing HID color.

                              I ran 6000K fog lights before i put them in my highbeams and they looked good. But I really like the low/high beam lights with 6000K HID's its like all 4 lights should have been working all the time, it looks great at night and you can see everything. Noone flashes me either since I have them adjusted where they should be.
