Thanks, iveyjh!

Is yours lowered too, or do the side skirts just make it look lower? I love the look of your car every time I see it. Black & white futuristic aero Metro cop car vibe, or something.

Another thought on lowering...

I was thinking I may be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone: the stiffer springs may let me delete the sway bars, for a weight reduction bonus!
