Okay guys. Well it's done. I took a few pics with the wheels off and what not but I doubt you all wanna see the parts. Everything looked exactly like 06mistress and he had some great pics of the parts and all.

I will post some pictures tonight of how the car is sitting. The ride is amazing if you ask me its like a brand new car. The ride is a lot stiffer and there is very little body roll now.

Overall this was an amazing decision and great setup. Thanks for all the help Matt. Look for the pics soon.

Hey guys, sorry for delay, just had a rough weekend. These are just quick ones I snapped off my Ipod, Ill add some better quality ones when I get some more time. For some reason the front appears to have more of a gap than the rear. I dont know if its just me or thats how it is with these.

Looks great! I'm anxious to see more pictures. Looks like you went Canuck Motorsports lowering springs with Bilstein HD Series struts, right? If that's the case, I'm not surprised you're happy with the setup because I'm running the exact same setup and I've been very happy with mine so far.

Again, glad I could help! Hope to see you at our Michigan Meet & Greet May 18th.

Thanks alot, and I will, Im just slow with updating things like that. I need some nice shots in nice locations.

Any idea why I'm thinking the rear looks slightly less of a gap?

We'll get plenty of pictures during the day of the Meet & Greet. I've always got my camera with me at stuff like that.

Have you noticed any rubbing so far?

Regarding the wheel gap, here's a recent pic of mine to compare. I can say mine also appears to have slightly more gap in the front, although when I say slightly I mean barely. I think the front wheel arch may be slightly higher than the rears, or the design of the car makes it appear to be that way. Another thing to consider is weight in the rear, i.e. subs in the trunk. That added weight can lower the rear depending on exactly what's back there. I've got one 12" sub in the trunk (probably around 80 lbs.) but even that hasn't seemed to effect it much. The springs will also settle, or seat, over the first few months.
