Picking my car up tomorrow. Had to leave it over the weekend due to holiday travel. Will post impressions immediately! Im running it with the RAC's but stock widths.

I picked up the car this morning. This setup is great. Although I have not had a chance to really drive the car hard the initial impressions are good. The ride is solid and not any more uncomfortable than stock. The steering seems a bit sharper off center (followed Dinan's alignment instructions) and the car feels very flat. Attached are a few pics showing right height (if they work). Enjoy.

Do you happen to have any before pics? The ride height doesn't seem to be that different from stock.

Nice wheels, BTW

Looks great, how much lower is it in the front? Are those 20's or 19's?

The ride is a bit lower than stock. It doesn't look as "slammed" as the H&Rs or other setups because it still keeps the rake similar to stock (keeping the front higher).

It looks like this setup is between the stock and the H&R in terms of ride height. Any more details on the quality of the ride?

After 6 months with the H&R, the best description I can give of the ride is it bumps the settings up about half a notch. That is, 'comfort' is now between comfort and normal. I would guess the Dinan gives a slightly softer ride than the H&R.
