Thanks Jox. Next time you go for a drive your car will be sitting on cinder blocks.

Does anyone have advice on springs vs coilovers?

that looks good. i've always preferred the look of a fixed wing. i'll echo for the millionth time, change the wheels. and if it were me, i would do coilovers. springs make the car feel too bouncy.

Springs are fine - I had H&Rs on my Carrera S with no issues. If you want more performance for the track, then you can get the Bilsteins made for PASM.

The car looks great, but I'd go for some BBS CX-Rs. Here's a link:

BBS CX-R Machined w/Black Accent

Thanks Chris, as for the wheels in the link, I'm not a big fan. They look like 24's on an escalade. What do you think about 997 GT3 wheels or a 996 GT3 wheels?
