Pick that one off of ebay? It appeared to have a fold in the top of the front bumper. Was that real or just the angle of the pic? I love the wheels. She looks great.

thank you much

Lowering springs - $250 or so: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vogtl...agenameZWD1V(I LOVE my Vogtland/Koni setup)
Shocks - $300 ish: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BILST...spagenameZWDVW
Spring compressor - $225: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Coil-...25403148QQrdZ1

Or pay a shop to do it for you - roughly $200. Compressor is recommended so you can fine tune spring pads as needed without added cost.
