I have to say I am very happy with my new springs by Kappasphere If you are looking for a good comparison look at the posted fotos and the difference is very clear. As for the feel I noticed a very slight bounce increase in the rear but not enough to say it's bad, the handling, cornering and braking is better just as someone else pointed out. Overall I am very happy with the drop, it's perfect with the OEM shocks and clearance doesn't seem to worry me. A very good buy well worth the money.

Revised: The bounce I mentioned seemed to be a sturdy bounce driving on normal street bumps in Chicago, the bump that caught my attention was due to a speed bump that I drive over near my home and my rear seemed to bounce higher when I drove over it. The OEM springs did not have that effect at the same speed, so with an adjustment in my driving speed over the bump that issue no longer exist. I drove around more last night and got used to the new feel and it's a very quick adjustment, I feel much better with the Kappa springs over the OEM shocks and would not revert back. I highly recommend N/A owners to ditch the OEM springs, the Kappasphere springs are a step up in quality.

No matter where we are we are always connected.

When you say "slight bounce increase" do you mean the ride is a little more firm and it jumps a bit or the springs are soft and the wheels actually bounce more? I am looking at springs and very interested in your review.

Fhaeton- I just ordered a set of the KappaSphere springs myself yesterday. Haven't arrived yet, but I would love to talk more about your installation and maybe check it out in person- I'm in the Oak Park area.

Oh Wow nice to meet you. As far as the installation is concerned I bit the bullet and paid for my installation along with alignment at LEE's auto service near my job downtown. Glad to see another Solstice in town were gonna have to meet up and chill.

You have pictures?

looks good, the car definitely needs some sort of a drop.

i finally got a pic of my 2" drops

it's under hard cornering but no rubbing whatsoever.

What size tires do you have?

is it possible to go with a slightly taller tire to fill up the gap even more? the drop is noticable but there is still a gap.

If you want less gap I would suggest the Eibach SportLine springs. The drop is about 1.7" front and 2" in the rear.

There's a comparison shot of stock vs. lowered on Kappasphere's website- with the stock wheels and tires. It's a better illustration for those of us with stock rubber.

I've got a pretty steep driveway entrance and I'm scraping the underneath rubber air dam already. I've got my lowering springs coming in the mail as we speak... so I'm a little nervous about it...but I sometimes can't stand how 'tall' the car looks from certain angles, so I'll just have to cope.

That explains why you had so much wheel gap before, those tires are much smaller in diameter than stock.
