You can rent them from any auto parts store. $50 from autozone to rent and you get your money back when returned.

Could you retain the stock ride height, or do these require a mandatory drop?

Very odd! I tried the same thing and they told me they don't have them! What the heck?

Did you notice any fitment issues with your Hubcentric Spacers? I too am looking to buy me a set and wanted someones opinion of them who installed them.

I noticed in the pic that your original lugs were still poking out a little bit. Did that interfere with the rims and were they truly hubcentric?

Excellent review and pictures! Can you retain the stock ride height if you wanted to on these, or is a drop mandatory? Also, have your driving impressions stayed the same, stiffer than stock or have they loosened up a bit?

My stock suspension is shot and I like the price on these. I track my car and was happy with the stock suspension. Something that's stock but a little bit better might be just what I'm looking for.

Thank you for any comments.

^^It sounds like the bilsteins are for you. I LOVE mine, they are slightly stiffer than stock (it is noticeable) and you can get close to stock ride height if you wanted, but Iam positive it will be slightly lower. What made me get em was the fact they are made by a reputable company with years and years of experience as opposed to all those no name taiwan branded coilovers.
