Look mom! My car got dropped!
I'm just gonna post a few, because I'm gonna write a full review in the suspension section tomorrow, but here's some teasers.
The mandatory before picture:
In progress
All done (sort of).... 1.5 fingers up front, 1/4" higher than that in the rear.
Car tracks straight, no rubs (even with a +37 offset and 215/45/17) and no swaybar banging. It rides like a sports car now, a little harsh, but the dampers do a great job keeping up with the springs which are 503/559 lb-ft. Its a little floaty right now because its got some serious toe in, the camber is moderate, I'd say maybe 2 degrees all around (I have a gauge, I adjusted it when I put everything in). Well worth the coin.
I'll be back later... ask your questions HERE. Please don't PM me questions yet... all that happens is 10 people ask the same thing, so someone just ask it here once.
See ya for now.

Rep Power: 0 how much lower can you go? I understand the shock adjuster under the front shock might get in the way of the axle if you go low enough. The rears look like you can go lower also but not that much though. Oh yeah how about the settings? Front and rear? Oh man I cant wait to put mine on!!!
