Default finally lowered the "6" *PIC*

I have been contemplating when to install my DMS springs and finally broke down and installed them this week! I must say I love the stance , especially with removing the rear isolators but I still need to BFH my inner fenders that keep touching my 17X11 rears and relocate/ modify my bumpstops...any recommendations.......heres a pic also

Car looks great, it might settle a little more. [offtopic]I think it would add to the car if you remove the side moldings since youve already taken off the door badges[/offtopic]

Looks good, especially with the isolaters removed. Actually it looks like it has settled a little more than most I've seen that were recently installed. DMS gives the prefect stance IMO.

Nice "W" you got there. I agree with stang killer, it is going to settle a bit more.

gone with Koni struts and have no other neg. effects besides the rear end being unaligned....nothing my adj. panhard rod won't fix.....and if you run zr1 11 inch wheels plan on alot of massaging (bfh mod) on the inner fender wells....and if the rear starts to settle TOO low I will replace the isolators.......

Has anyone actually noticed a difference between with/without isolaters. Any differences in ride quality, or suspension noise?

its louder without them and it drops the car dramatically different...if you remove them wrap the top of the spring that rests in the srut housing with high temp heater hose and it will resolve the minimal squeaking noises from the rear

First time I've seen DMS springs where the front end didn't look slammed to the ground. Looks good, bro.

I dont want it lower.....I removed the isolators to give it a lower stance in the rear....the pic above is with the isolators already out........
