The rear looks like its sagging. Either drop the front down more or raise the rear a tad.

instead of dropping the front right away, have someone take a pic while you're sitting in the driver's seat. that should even it out a bit.

i had my gc's lowered alllll the way down, pity i took no freakin pictures of it. the ride was kinda bad and they were 1st gens, so the noise was too much for me.

but ugggg, 3.5 inches of drop looked sick on 19s, let me tell ya

Did they require you to sand down the stock struts? People have told me that i will need to sand my AGXs down with GCs.

No i didnt have to modify the stock struts. GCs website says to grind the strut lip for added adjustment range, but i saw no need for it, they adjust fine.
