Biggest 2 things I'm looking for is:
-does it improve the performance over the stock sport suspension (which I think handles pretty well) and
-does the car sit lower and how low would it be? In other words, I don't want it so low that I can't drive around in DC (there's a sh*tload of potholes around here)

I was looking at a couple of them and they have a few different sets. I'd say the racing ones are probably the best for performance but I don't know if I need that unless my car is only for the track. What do you think?

Finally got my car running again. $3100 later with a new clutch, flywheel, master cylinder, tranny mount. The PO must have attempted nascar driving (and failed) before I got my hands on her. 
. I know this is a little off topic but how hard is it to do a odometer roll back? (I am just curious)....

Speaking of brand new, you wouldn't happen to have a friend who does good paint jobs for a decent price would you? I bought the C55 on the condition of knowing that I would want to have the exterior re-done since it was about $6k under blue book value, so I didn't mind spending the money but I'd like to find a good deal somewhere...this car is going to be my baby
