Wow! There sure are quite a few threads actively discussing this topic. I have the KG/MM Super Sports and Koni shocks. The ride is much better than stock. This is due to the softer compression of the Koni shock not the stiffness of the spring. It seems that the stock shock has a fairly stiff compression, therefore the car will ride a bit rough. The stiffer springs seem to limit body movement as opposed to stiffening the ride.

I have a bit less than 1 finger gap on the front and about 1 finger in the rear. Take a look.

For some reason I didn't recognize them. I think the lighting was doing weird stuff. Is it just me or does your car look white in the last two pics and the rims look silver not gunmetal? They look too bling bling to be volks, lol

I think the sun was behind me when I took the pictures today. It does appear to bleach the sebring silver pretty bad. As for the wheels, well I guess the shine from the polished lip tends to carry on the gunmetal sometimes. It is the same camera taking both pics but in the first two, they were taken early in the morning if I remember correctly.

Everything looks much darker in this one.

Thanks GChambers!

I have not been able to see the OEM lip in person yet so it hasn't been on my "to do list". I'm pretty much done with mods except with the hopes of doing a Vortech soon.

Very nice Nosman, thanks for posting these! Sweet car!
Thank you too Brutewes! I'm sorry it took so long to get these pics up but I hope that you have good luck with your spring/shock setup.
