Originally I used oem struts and Elibach lowering springs. This was a very good setup. The ride was still very good. And it lowered the car a inch and a half. I recommend this set up for most people.


I currently am running KSport coilovers and the car is lowered 2inches.
The ride is very rough. The Ksport spring rates are over 500 in the rear while the H and R are in the 200 range. Until now I have been unable to find the spring rates of the Elbachs or oem. I have ordered softer springs from Ksport and I think after I add the softer springs the coilovers should be great.

I have whatever is legal now days. I think it's 35% on my sides. If I ever get my hard top I will tint the rear also. I think the legal % is different by state. Check your local laws or just ask the place doing your tint.

It does vary by state.

Jeph,
Where did you get it done for $100?

It was some small local shop. I don't think it exists anymore.
$100 isn't too unreasonable for 3 small windows.
