Ok guys, car is in hand (FINALLY!)
Spring part numbers:
Front: 31-33-6-851-922
Rear: 33-53-6-851-930
Correct Front Sway bar:
Front: 31-35-6-792-119

Impressions:
PLANTED. That's all I could tell, it's traffic time in Stamford-Norwalk-Ridgefield CT, so I'm stuck on Rte 7 and 15 driving the speedlimit and unable to really get a feel for it.

With that said, over bumps, the rebound is acceptable - not to stiff.
Cornering on the street, it's planted. Body roll is minimal - this is WITH winter tires on, so I'm sure with the staggered summer setup, I'll be back at my Evo level of suspension joy, without the harshness.

Daily driving comfort is hardly changed at all. . . I honestly still wonder if they installed the parts. I've taken pictures, but then my f$%$& iphone died, so I'll upload them to this post when I get home later tonight after class.

Visually, it's maybe a 0.5" drop max? Springs take a few hundred miles to "settle", so I'll upload the pictures I took tonight in the garage...it's not ghetto, it's just right. Wish it would've come from the factory this way.
