The springs are coming in either this week, or next week.

Everything just so happened to play out this way. I would have gladly done things sooner if H&R had springs in stock. I don't mind waiting until next summer to take full advantage but I do plan on throwing everything on for the next few months, just to see how the car looks.

A little over $1400, from Tirerack, shipped.

Alex - You need to use the coupons that Costco sends you for the Michelin tires. I think it's 70 bucks off a set of 4 tires.

yeah it comes out to 1200 or something at costco, and plus you get road hazard for free. But 1400 isnt so bad either.

I am still sitting on stock springs, and probably will be until the Winter ends. I'll admit that I was surprised to see that there's only a one finger gap after mounting the rims. More pictures, taken with an actual camera, will come around once I get the chance.
