List of Improvements Gets Longer 200

Don,

Looks fantastic! I really want to snag a set of the progressive B&G's but worried that they will drop the car too much for the roads here in in New England let alone for the horrible pot-hole ridden rough roads in Boston. Didn't some of the guys on T-bricks say the springs dropped their bricks like 2+". I know the EST spings are different from the B&Gs though which some are riding on. I'm currently using Bilstein HDs with bracing maxed out and the ride is almost jarring and feel like I'm going to lose my exhaust for daily driving. I like how the brick handles on the highway though so need a compromise. Bushings are all new too. I've always wanted to try the Koni Sports but I was leaning back towards Boge Turbos which would still be suitable for lowering springs if I ever wanted to proceed that route and are obviously cheaper. Where did you get the Koni's as I'm tempted to look into the Koni Sports using the softest setting instead of the Bilsteins.

Best,
Adam
