JCW Suspension is on after 5 days of waiting...
Well after five days of driving the loaner car (Hyundia Sonata) the dealer finally received all the parts and installed my JCW (Craptastic) Suspension!!!
-Ride seems alot more firmer (planted to the ground)
taking quick turns and peeling into enter/exit ramps are alot more fun now
love'n the slightly sleek lowered appearence
kneel'n down to check out the red springs
-a little harsh on some bumps (maybe needs time to settle down a little)
-the battle scars (cracks from rocks that seem to come out of nowhere) in
my windshield are spreading from the new stiff ride... needed a new
windshield anyway.
Over all, LOVE IT

was think'n of goin with 17x7.5 or 18x7.5 i'm leaning towards the 17's 'cause i don't want to deal with any rubbing issues. (205/45 or 215/45)
i'm on the group buy list for the CSL Competition wheels.

Are you using a rear swaybar on your JCW suspension? Have you used anything besides Alta?
thanks
