I just took out my Tokico blues/H&R sports and replaced them with FMS C springs/Bilsteins and the front is lower than my previous setup! The new setup hasn't even settled yet!

They WILL lower the car about half an inch if you don't use the supplied spring spacers. If you already had the X2's in there, there was probably a spacer with the other springs.

Yeah I just found them, the mechanic didn't put them back in. How much gap do you have between your fender and wheel?

Guess I will have to order the 03 Cobra arms soon rather than later. Thanks.
