2 questions-

What happened to your wheel well trim?
How much rear camber are you running with?

Sold/traded the arches for stock ones, they are on the way.
I also got rid of my aero kit rear bumper and got a stock rear bumper.
I think my rear is around -2.0 maybe -2.5
I'm not sure what my front is at.

1' drop you are looking at h-sports, very popular choice, and very good setup in terms of spring rates

Maine Mini, I tried searching those springs but did not come up with much. On www.minimania.com they say a 30mm drop? Obviously you DO NOT have that dropped 30mm! What is the drop you are running, and what size rims?

And Strom, I LOVE your license plate, lmao! w00t w00t!

Some of you have seen it in the H&R thread but here are a couple of pics of mine(road grime and all). It sits a bit higher now as I raised her up for autoX.

I believe your going to have to install Coilovers to get such a drop as that and one that is adjustable.

You gotta go to coilovers. I had H-sports and it wasn't nearly this low. I also raised it up 'cause I was worried about a combination of cornering, a bump, and ripping my wheel flair off. I have a Vdub buddy who did this. Ouch!!

Look at the Megan system for best bang for the buck!
