Thank you all. I'm hesitant to fully go for the GSL-SE swap, due to losing some of the coolness which is SA22C. Not to mention the epic levels of work that would be required to complete the swap. Who has a quick link to a swap how-to?

Just be careful with those springs settling in. In my experience, Eibachs generally settle about a half inch over the first 1500 miles. Sometimes less sometimes more. I don't believe Eibachs are "set in" from the factory and require settling time, whereas some others like Intrax don't require a settling time.
Very nice, clean GSL-SE though. If you think your ride is rough, try riding around on coil overs with 250lb springs in the front. Now thats rough. I couldn't imagine the 300+lb some people use around here.
