if i do end up having to swap struts...i am going to pay someone to do it...that thing is a [censored] to get under and replace springs, much less struts...well, if i do need struts, i will probably go with Spax or Bilstein...maybe BATs...sound ok?

the ground clearance below the air dam is about 2.75" its pretty low...i like it, just do what i didnt...get new struts while youre there...its not a bad ride, just a little rougher than stock.

That's like comparing apples to oranges though. There is a huge height difference between the 2 kits.

IMO the Autobahn is way to low. It's fugly, slammed looking, and probably a [censored] to drive a Tour with a SVT body kit after.

I have the B+G Sports and thats low enough as it is. My front bumper has met face to face with plenty of nice pavement.

Hey CSVT 1214,

Put a Mirko splitter on there and see what it is like with our B&G sport springs. I am having to adopt a whole new driving style. If not for the protection plates that Dan put on their for me my splitter would be history by now.

But it looks awesome


'00 CSVT Koni/B&G (New), SCA intake, 18 inch Falken Circuit Spec (gunmetal), CF hood, Headlights by Dan, Mirko, deleted front license plate/painted chrome ring. Headers/y pipe installed - TruBendz Borla system no Res and optimized TB. Getting there!
