The stance is good.

Are the rear isolators in or out?

Do you have Koni's -> are the fronts on the lower perch?

Thanks

what was the final drop measurement?


would love this combo...looks good and i know it performs....but i'm worried it will be too low.

3" duals suck sometimes but i don't think i'd trade them.

If mine are too low, pretty much anything will be too low.

Measured it after driving it all weekend, looks like the drop is 1.25" pretty much what Sam advertises (not going to quibble about an extra .05" that could be just the tape measure being off)
I can't say if it's going to be too low for true duals, but so far I haven't scraped anything as of yet, and we do have some serious dips in the roads around here. Even if it did scrape, the handling upgrade is worth it
FWIW I took a 45mph corner @ 80mph and it felt rock solid (with the stock suspension I wouldn't dare go faster than 60 around that corner, and it was a job to keep it controlled at that speed)

Car looks great. I am saving up for Strano sway bars, Strano springs and Koni 4/3 shocks.

except maybe stock springs with lower perch/heater hose mod on Koni's

i bet that'd work with the 3" exhaust
