With all of the different spring types and heights, I was wondering if most was satisfied with the factory stock replacement spring for the correct height, or the 1 -2" lower springs. Im afraid that my car will look like a 4X4 from some that I have looked at.

I personally would opt for the lower springs especially on a convertible. Even a set of new stock springs would raise the front end too high for my liking making it harder to get a even ride height all around. Unless you like the lower rear look from the factory.

By the way Bob, awesome looking car. Is that a gloss black on the inside of your ralley's? I have the same color combo and was thinking of doing that since it seems to blend with the car better and 'richen' the look of the wheels over the std. charcoal.

Thanks for the help. How much would you lower it? 1"?

6tee7goat,

Thanks!It is actually a charcoal gray that came in the kit from Ames. I can get you the specific part# tomorrow if you like. I agree with you though I like the darker inside color versus the lighter gray

Bob
