Default Springs!!!

I am debating on what drop in inches to go for my ride....Does anyone have 2 inch all around with pictures that I can see to get a better feel for the complete 2 inch drop? I want to get rid of the rake look, but want to see a 2 inch drop all around first...best deal online i have found is for a 2 inch drop all around...thanks!

BigPhil, I have the Progress 2" drop all the way around, go to my website (in sig) and you can see some before and after pics. Go to the Exterior Mods page, scroll down.

I have the H&R's and I achieved about 1.75" front and rear. I would not want it any lower in the front as it is already getting a bad case of chin rash, but the rear could come down a little more IMHO. But they do handle real nice!

How do you like the ride with this setup? Do you have the stock shocks and struts with these? I have a set coming and am curious if I'm going to have to eventually swap out the shocks too.

Agreed. I did 1.5 or 2" (I forget) rear only, and it reduced the rake, and rears are easy to do.

Frint already scrapes enough for me![:0]
