the place I got them installed at said that carparts.com shipped me the wrong rear shocks(he said they were the shocks for a 240sx). So when I got home I checked the part number on the rears. It said 8641-1364. This seems like the right part number to me. Is the guy at the performance shop trippin or is carparts.com due for some serious b*tchin from me.

I'm gonna try and get some pics up as soon as I can get a camera. But the two inch drop does look pretty sick and my handling with the konis has also improved. I find that the ride isn't really that harsh at all with the konis set to their firmest setting. I just wish I could have had the rears installed as well.

I bought the sprins for 129 during the group deal and the shocks from carparts.com. It cost me 170 to have the all the springs installed and the front shocks. The install was done by racing trenz in Denver.

Actually I don't know if they already knew because it was one of the first things I told them. But regardless, I think they gave me a fairly good price.

I have my rear konis sitting infront of me-->

The part number is 8040 1242SPORT.
How was the alignment? Did you get that check out? I guess you should wait until you get the rear ones on =)

Actually the rear shocks have no real impact on alignment since only the front of the max can be aligned. I'm going to get a two wheel alignment tomorrow after I have my tires rotated, which is probsbly a good idea for all alignments.
