Car looks amazing. Debating if i should slap my brothers wheels and do the same (looks beautiful).

PS, what are spring pads? What do they do? I got KW V2's, would they help me? Can i get spring pads to have the ride not so bouncy when it has 4 people in it?

Coilovers eliminate spring pads.

Thanks, the car looks soooo much better with a drop and 19s. I hate myself for not doing it much much sooner. I've never heard compliments about the car as I do now which i don't mind either. I'm debating on making more changes or getting a new car...I really want a manual trans again.

our cars have spring pads in the rear that just give the car different lifts...I don't think it has anything to do with a bouncy ride. The thickness for the pads are different to add or remove height in the rear.

Lol, 5 out of the 6 cars in my life have been manual. I said to myself I would never get an auto until I bought myself a Mercedes. Now I don't think I could deal with NE traffic anymore with a manual.

+1. For a daily driver I'll never go for a manual again, for a track car it's a different story of course. The MB 7 speed is a pretty damn good trans, no complaints at all.
