THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION. KW'S IN THE FRONT AND RESET THE ZERO POINT OF THE REAR WITH GT1 COMPUTER AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY. Dont forget the camber and toe adjustments might have to be compensated using kmac front and rear kits. Here is a pic with just the front kw coilovers installed. brought the front down nearly 3 inches

semi gloss black. the cost was 1400 for the front coilovers and the rear was 125 via lowering it and 300 for the rear camber kit and 300 for the front camber kit. handles great....just like stock. get some swaybars from eibach for 500 and your good to go

Where did you buy the coilovers?
For that price Im buying them asap!
I thought they were in the $3000 plus range so was hesitant since its lowered already
