I'm working on the drop, I'm set on Tein H.Tech, just trying to find a good price/place to buy. Preferably I'd like to find a used set someone wants to get rid of. Next mod is to install the stuff I have yet to put on (sharkfin antenna, StopTech rotors, Hawk HPS pads). Then the drop (I refer to stock height as the CX-7 look) and xenons after that, followed by tints, don't really think it needs anything after that.

Haha yeah I like those. A friend of mine with a E36 BMW has them and they look and ride great but it's too low for me. I'm not the only person that drives the car, dad takes it now and then, don't wanna have to worry about him bottoming it out over a speed bump every time he takes it out. I think H.Techs are perfect for me. Nice drop, not too low but not too high and the springs are progressive, rare for a milder drop I think.

It looks to me like the tires are too small. What size have you got on there?

The tires are too small, it's a long story ... well not really, the place I orderd from (wheelsnext.com) sent the wrong size and it was too much hassle getting the problem fixed so I decided to live with it. The tires are Falken ZE912s, 215/35ZR18. If you check out my welcome the noob thread, you'll see that it's one of the first things I mentioned lol.

lol yeah they're pretty stretched but I've seen worse. In other news, my new StopTech slotted rotors arrived today ... after more than 2 weeks of delays ... and one of them is different than the rest :flaming I'm waiting for the guy from Corksport to call me back to get this fixed, damn it's getting annoying.

Prokit is a really nice setup as well but I want H.Techs because the front of our cars is higher than the back (maybe more so on mine because of audio equipment in the back) and I want to even that out but also because the H.Tech are progressive springs whereas Prokit is linear.

That Makes a lot of Sense with Audio in the back H Techs make the best sense il pm u if i know anyone selling H-Techs Bud... You will love the Drop

Just called StopTech, everything is normal, the discrepancy in finish is just a difference in the temporary coating to protect them during transport ... and all was well with my world.
