I dropped her. Tein's and KYB's installed
As promised fellas.
Before
After
Front Left Panel After. Original Measurement was 29.5"
Rear Left Panel After. Original Measurement was 29"
Springs and shocks hasn't settle yet. I'll wait a week and get the final measurements. First impression is that steering has vastly improved. It's more precise, tighter, less body roll. Yeah you gonna feel the bumps a little bit more, one of the negatives of dropping your car. One thing that surprised me is that I didn't think that I would get 1.75" of drop on the rear. I'm still rollin' on 18's.
Overall I'm lovin' this set up. Some may say that my car has an aggressive
stance, Tein's doen't get the same love as Progressive, Eibach, or H&R. But judging by the pic, the car is well balanced, and I truly believe that the KYB's has something to do with that balance.

Gollum, looks good and the handling is well worth it, now you need to *** an FSTB & RSB to complete the package...
I am on K-Sports as well, and went a bit lower. I think I am at about 3 in the front and 2.5 in the back...if your gonna go low, go low!!!
(sorry back on topic)

Damn Holmes, couldn't you chop it down a little bit lower esse'?
That's a hot set up. The Ksports in the back is just teasing ya. No center caps on the rims?

If you do decide to get a FSTB and RSB I would also replace the front and rear endlinks and your ride will almost feel like it's on rails!!! Taz (Racingline) is having a group deal on the fronts and rears and you will LOVE the feel of your Max around corners and turns!!!

[quote=6thgenblackmaxx;6762274]LOL, no not a cent, but I do endorse products I have on my own Max which improved my handling. Not to mention Taz (Racingline) is great to work with...

Clean look. Could you PM me the website and exact model number for the struts your purchased please?
I got a 2.0" front & .08" rear when I droped mine using Eibach springs only, however I am still on OE struts and want aftermarket struts and all I keep hearing about is the awesome reviews of the kyb gr2 (?). Hook me up brother.
