no plans for bi-xenons, I have already spent more than I wanted to on this car. I'm happy with the Carlab Ver. 5 HIDs.

yep Darwin cut a half a coil in the front and im running a number 1 spring pad in the rear, drop is dead even and with 19s i tuck jus enuff in the rear and sit right on the tire in the front. ride quality didnt change much, half a coil doesnt really alter the spring rating in a noticable way other than looks.
