Don't think I'll be getting a new rear diff anytime soon. Especially not the Stasis limited slip one, don't have the $2000 for that right now.

Finally got itwashed today. Started to break in the newStasis Coiloverstoo.
They seemed a little bouncy at first, but I figured theyjustneed a little more time to break in.
Once they settle, I think I'll re-adjust them so thefront is a littlelower than the rears.
They were the sameheight all aroundoriginally, but now it looks like the rearssettled 1/2" sofar.
I did top off the gas tank today though... here's the pics and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

i think it's the wheels more than anything. if he throw some 18's on there it would look pretty good and not really need to go lower.

ok.. maybe a little lower.

Paintend lowers would make it look even lower. Slightly OT but which brands offer coilovers with fully adjustable rebound and compression?

The rebound is supposed to be adjustable on these, but the guys at STaSIS recommend not changing the rebound from where they set it to. If you get Konis that aren't tuned and adjusted by STaSIS, then you have to tune it yourself to the rebound setting you want.
The height setting is pretty much straight forward. Also, STaSIS recommended not dropping it too much more, b/c the handling will suffer. I guess the lower you drop the car, the stiffer the rebound setting needs to be to avoid bottoming out. Although they arestill breaking in, they are starting to feelbetter - orI'm just adjusting to it. The slight bouncy feeling they had the first daywent away for the most part. Icould bet the ridequality would really su(k with 18"s on it compared to the 15"s -every little bump will probably feel like driving over a cynder block. I don't think I'd goanybigger than 17"s honestly, not in CT. I don't want to make my car a target for grand theft auto either.
