Why are you getting spacers? My car looks exactly like yours and i didn't need spacers.

PS: if you drive your car on the street, you will regret coil overs...

Hahaha...they are just trying to convince themselves that they made a smart move. Sure they handle awsome on the turns and the weight transfer is awsome. Can't complain about that. Unless you want it for mostly track purposes only than you'll be fine. But as far as ride comfort they suck *****! 90% of coil overs squeak. Please inform yourself son...

Well, maybe peoples perceptions are different? Unless you drive a car with coil overs 7 days a week, 365 days outta they year, you really can't say. I have D&D coil overs 375 lb springs, tubular a-arms and k-member with strange 10 wy adjustables. D&D k-members are some of the best in the market.
On a side note: let me put like this. I have friends that ride withe me and when wer're crusing, their like, man the ride feels very smooth..blah,blah, blah, blah blahh....and i'm like "yeah, just wait till we get some bad road".....
