and also Camber Adjustment kits on that car was a must if lowering.
I had the sways too, I had eibach springs though. The car handled well, but you felt every bump in the road.

Oh I agree. I wanted the N95 but it's way too much money. Nokia phones are really awesome. I've probably have had about 6 of them. I had the 88x0, it was my best phone ever. It was pimp as heck back in the day.





Brings back memories. The battery cover would go flying, the battery would come off, lol, everything. They were like legos.

Yeah I remember getting my 8860, and people in the elevators asking what kind of phone that was

Tires I'm not sure, I think if you get a proper alignment after lowering, that will help your tire life a ton. Lowering my 3 with coilovers did not kill the ride at all. It is a little bit stiffer but it actually feels more comfortable over those unsettling/unexpected type of bumps on the roads.

I've never been to Chilli's.

How do you compare them to Houston's? Houston's has one of my favorite burgers. $12 though.

But I dont want to spend $1500 to lower my car. Do any of the springs have a good ride quality?

No No...
totally different league...
chili's is more on par with like your TGIF, but I personally think the food tastes better at Chili's.

Houston's would have to be at least a good 2 steps up from Chili's.
I haven't had a Houston's burger though.

I've heard a few people on this board complain about H&R Springs + Sport suspension. How much do you want to spend including install?

Houston's had to have been one of my favorite restaurants.
Their food was consistently good whenever i went.
They used to have a good porterhouse too, but I'm not sure if they still have it.

houston is up scale compared to Chilli's. Chilli's are not bad tho, to be honest i'd rather eat at chilli's. They have good sizzling fajita's, okay steaks, and definitely very very good buffalo wings (boned and boneless). it's the kind that makes you cough as you try to eat it

Chilli's in irvine is good
