What part of "These springs will put it on it's nuts" didn't you understand? Oh, and don't pull these ones out with a dremel or plasma cutter,
you might be able to make a couple bucks off em. I know a certain ricer in a black hatch that needs the shocks desperately if you're losing those too.

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

.........what do you think?-Bob

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking that you might be better off going with either a Honda wheel or aftermarket 15/16 with the appropriate offset. See if you can trade those expensive 17's for something more practical? Those 17's are going to cause you to spend more money than it's worth IMO. And if you want to do a 17 right, you need bigger brakes, camber kit, taller ride height, etc... Replacement tires and rotors will cost more.
P.S. you'll be hard pressed to find a better ride quality than what you have if you like lower than stock. If you must keep those wheels, OmniPowerUSA.com get the omni-man coilover package with camber kit and keep the blues. That's going to be the most economical way IMO. Ride quality will depend on your choice of spring rate.
