    Lowered Springs

    I just bought myself lowered springs... Kings springs from SuperCheap Auto for $260 for front and rear. It states that it should lower the car approximately 30mm. Can't wait to fit them.

    I've just contacted Ultra Racing to order the rear sway bar and front strut brace. Hopefully these goodies should tighten the handling up a bit.

    Should sit around the same height as mine. I got H&R springs which dropped 30mm. Just be careful with driveways. Stock height can scrape, lowered you will have to crawl into most.
    The bars do little, the springs will do 10x more to help.

    Your car looks great. I really wanted white when I got mine but couldn't.
    So, in your opinion, do you think it's worth getting the bars?
    Also, that's a neat looking intake on your car. Where'd you get it?

    IMO they are more for looks. Strut tower bars are all looks on our car.
    I can't feel the difference before i put my H&R springs in and after.
    Got it from Speedlab in Phils.

    The front strut brace does make a difference in how the car feels, but it's not super apparent. A lot of cars actually come with them from the factory. My impression was it made the car feel more refined in corners, like a bigger, heavier car.
