I feel the same way, the drop is perfect for me.

There should be a p/n written in white on the shocks. Could any of you guys with the "slammed" ti look that up and post it? Make sure the number on the front & rear matches.
I'll get mine this weekend, if you'd like.

On a different topic, I'm on the openion that the ti is heavier on the rear than the Z3; the front is the same. This just based on how much more the ti dropped compared to my Z3.

I'll be trying the doubled-up spring pad thing this weekend and I'll look for the number.

And if you look at my car from the side it doesn't really look any lower than the others pictured on this thread. It's just too low for my tastes and roads. A half inch puts me in line with Bullmans numbers and (unlike him) his car is sexy. Dude's a hairy-backed troll, I swear.

The kit got here today.
I wasn't expecting it this soon since the funds were just taken out a couple days ago. The springs and shocks/struts look awesome can't wait to put them on. But this will have to wait until spring, since winter is on its way.
