looks a little lower might help if you add some bigger rims, paint the wheel flaps white and allow the springs to set in.

Whoa, you use to fit your foot inside the gap! Holy crap! Looking good. I haven't dealt with progress springs, so I assume they are progressive wound? What's the drop suppose to be? Either way, give it a week or 2, it will settle a little more. Lookin good!

I haven't test the handling, but I have taken some high speed turns and it's great!

Progress drops 1.7 and 1.5

Looks good but I was hoping for an ever lower drop. I have the same springs (need to still install them) so I am worried now.

I installed the springs on his car. The drop is just about perfectly even.

Well guys, the ride is getting better. I mean way better. You can barely tell that is firmer than stock. You feel the inperfections in the road(ie when a road looks flat but it's not) but when you go over bumps it is not harsh at all. It feels like my sis's Mazda 6s going over bumps.

to this combo.
I will post pics in about a week to show the suspention settled in.

Nice! I can stick my foot inside my wheel gap as well

I have sprint springs sitting in the garage. Just need to get some Illuminas, oh ya and bring my grades up so I can get all this installed. I can't wait!

Looking good though, I wish my 4x4 look was gone.
