Just installed the spoon springs and rigid collars on my FL5. So far suspension fells like stock. Will let the springs settle and will need to go for an alignment.
Seconding JimmyGangSi's question. I'm considering rigid collars. Did you feel any difference with them installed?

Also, your side shots are dope.

Now that i lowered the car, got an aftermarket wheels and wheel alignment, i can say that yes, i can feel the diff. Especially when turning on a high speed. Overall def. Improvement in handling…. Only during spirited driving.

Looks great! Your Mugen visors look great too, stealthy with the dark tinted windows and don’t call any attention to themselves.

That looks great. But I've always had trouble with 15mm spacers. They're just not thick enough to conceal the nuts and then the wheels won't sit flush. How did you get around that. I always bump up to 20mm.

Looks amazing though, obviously!!! :drool::love::drool::love:

I'm always iffy about using lowering springs, some of them state its only a 1 inch drop and then it turns into 1.5. How is it since everything settled? Did it drop more or stay about the same since install?

The FL5 stock wheels do come with pockets where the stock wheel studs will sit so the wheels will fit perfect with no issues.
