Sorry the pictures are at night, I'll try and get up tomorrow before the sun goes down and get some day shots. She now rides on BG springs and KYB struts with new strut mounts.

yeah about 1.5 is my guess, I didn't measure though. I haven't really tested the handling yet but they are alot more confident at high speed than the stockers. The only problem I have is the front springs rub on the inner wheel well... Is that normal?

Are far as I'm aware they are mirage specific, thats what I searched for when I ordered. Honestly I think its the strut mounts that are making them rub.

$173, not too bad...I would trust B&G over other brands like Ksport and Sprint so i would say it would be worth shelling out the extra cash for. Had a set of B&G's on my Accord back in the day and they were well balanced between a good ride and sporty handling.

the handling of the B&G springs are amazing in my opinion. even on the stock struts. of course i paid like $250 for mine a few years back from the now defunct MMR

Yeah I paid 250 for mine and I do enjoy them, the car is alot more confident on hair pins and at speeds. Before I felt safe cruising at 105, now I'll jam 125 and feel pretty stable.

Your rims need a new paint job brother...but it's a good looking car overall. It looks alot better lowered.
