Right on! I love the look of a PT after it's been lowered. [?]

Ya' know, it still makes me wonder why DCX wouldn't sell them this way, I mean for the little extra cost I'm sure most people would still go for it.
It looks so much better and the handling speaks for itself.

Believe it or not, we design for some pretty insanse suspension conditions - nearly rally car levels of travel are necessary to survive the durability tests. If you live out in the country, you need the ground clearance. So despite how good coil-overs look, they just don't cut it for every customer....

After living with the BTG springs for a few weeks, I have final measurements. Measured through the center of the wheel.

FRONT: 25.75 inches
REAR: 26.5 inches

I wish the rear was a bit lower. Otherwise, I am happy. I am a bit concerned that the front may be too low. Time will tell if I stick with these springs for the long haul. I may switch next year to get a more level look.

You should stick with stock then. This is definately a "sporty" mod. If you like smooth and quiet, stick with the stock springs and stock exhaust.
