I think the racing beat springs I put on are lower... half inch or so... not that that is necessarily a GOOD thing as I've found out.
Yeah, Lower is not always better.

Looks great, Where did you buy them at?

What was the cost?

And how do they feel compared to stock.

Be honest .
I got them from http://www.sportcarmotion.com . Took a few weeks, but all in all, noat a bad wait. They weren't in stock. I forget what I paid, but it was a good price!

As for how they feel compared to stock, I have only had the opportunity to drive it to the alignment shop. I have to say, on rough Colorado roads, the stiffness was very manageable and didn't feel like much of an increase (if at all) over stock. I will update again when I get the chance to throw the car in the twisties. The car is not low enough to have changed the perspective, either (when driving it doesn't seem lower). The biggest difference was that I noticed I can't clear my rhino ramps anymore. The rear hits the exhaust, and the front hits the lip spoiler. Time to invest in some 2x6's I guess.

This has got to be one of the best side view shots I've ever seen.

Got a bigger copy?

I have them on my FD also, it's been a month. It's actually really streetable with the stock struts. Only problem was entering & exiting driveways. Scraped the bottom a few times.

BUT it's worth it in the twisties

I think I paid $269 from rx-7store.net
