Most of the 5th gen guys in your area (i.e. me, Joel, Delvin, Rob, Jasons #1 thorugh 9, etc are lowered and can help out/give advice). If you are looking for that kind of drop, I would consider Maxspeed springs, which are inexpensive and a very even drop of about 1.6 in the front and 1.2 in back (look at pics on my site or housecor's site).

FASHIZL (Delvin) works at a Merchant's in Alexandria and can install springs/struts in about 1 1/2 hours easily and give you a good deal on the install.

by the way....don't go straight to custommaxima for parts....there are a number of places around that have cheaper prices in most cases.....CM has some decent stuff, but they aren't the cheapest...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I've a Progress drop.. its 1.7 F and 1.5 R, I think... pics are on my homepage...

And if ya wanna save a couple bucks, buy your suspension stuff (not from CM, but look through the Stickies for other vendors and do your homework), buy several cases of beer, rent a spring compressor (for refundable deposit from most auto parts places), and maybe we'll help ya out... I'd be up for it...

Oh yeah, suspension parts come on sale very often in our 5th Gen classifieds... that's where I got mine...
