Sorry if I missed it but how did you lower the front and by how much? How well does it handle? I assume you just used blocks on the back.

The front has Bell tech adjustable coil overs, drop lower control arms,urathane bushings and a bell tech sway bar.

The rear has 3" Bell tech leaf springs, 2" blocks,urathane bushings and a Bell tech rear swaybar.

It handles awsome and the ride is firm yet has plenty of travel. I can't wait to hit an autocross.
