You can get lowering kits and torsion bars from www.domesticperformance.com
Smellbird has the lowering kit and loves it. Cool look and better handling too.

Have you gone through your RPO'* yet?
I've got a set of FE1, FE2, and two sets of F41. The F41 Is definatly the Best, Plus replacing the Sway Bar center links and the A-Arm Bushings, Trying to install Poly where ever you can..... It'* just a hundred little things the add up to a great ride.

Yup. Springs with a coil width of 16.250mm or greater, ~32mm front sway bar, ~22mm rear sway bar. It'll be nice. Replace all the insulators and mounts while you're in there and the F1 car will look twice lol

So smellbird , you bought the 1.5-2" lowering springs from DP ? How is the spring rate on them ? Are they quite stiff ? FE1 stinks and Im thinking of DP springs but I need real agressive springs for my 62 mile daily mountain road pounding. In other words I want stiffer than F41 which I am also fimilar with. I need to find out about them before I put the work and money into them. I may have to go for a custom spring. Even thought of the coilover Konis but the price is outragous.
