Hows the ride quality now that you don't have any pads in the rear? Also did you have to install new lugs after you put the spacers on?

HI.

The ride quality is great. The coils are Eibachs and are progessive which im sure you know means that the coils are more tightly wound on one end which allows the suspension to be soft but the more it travelles the firmer it gets to prevent bottoming out.

I dont have pads in the back, and the car is fine. there is no noticable difference for me, after all the bottom of the coil sits on the arm metal to metal, so for the top its now just the same.
The pads change in sizes due to the different car specs, and remember a larger engine, is going to weigh more then a smaller engine, so the pads are used to make up the difference in height amongst othe things.

The longer lugs came with the hubcentric spacers.
