Thanks for the compliment.

I'm up in the Seattle area, Newcastle to be exact. I think the Cross coilovers were one of the best mods so far. I keep them set to 4 on the front and 6 on the rear for everyday driving. The roads are not too bad around here so I don't mind the rough ride. I have not yet even tried the softest setting. If I want a smooth ride, I hop in a different car. I knew going into the setup that they would be a little rougher than stock, but I was ok with that. The car feels like a go-kart now. If I had to do it again, I would go the same route.

Thanks,
David

David, where do I get the coilovers and the wheels? Locally? And are these the wheels you have: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230043701389? The center hub section looks a little different than your wheels in the pictures.
