Picked up a set of used ST XTA coilovers locally from Chuckable...installed them Sunday and it only took me about 3 hours start to finish. That's working by myself, and includes drilling out the upper rear strut mounts and clearancing the body mounting holes in the rear. I also lubricated the top mounts a little bit due to reports of squeaking. No abnormal noises thus far. I still need to get an alignment, but so far the car feels more compliant over bumps. You can tell the springs are stiffer, but the shocks aren't overdamped like the factory ones, so the ride isn't as bouncy. I set them to 9 clicks from full stiff in the front, and 8 clicks from full stiff in the rear.
Didn't go super low, there's still a bit more range to drop the car but I feel this is a perfect stance. I'll get more pics when the car is clean and it isn't storming outside, which may be a few days!
