      H&R Springs Installed

      I took my time and got them installed in a little under 4 hours. No major issues, just remember the front of your car is lower when you need to get the jack out from under the crossmember, I would reccomend a 0 clearence jack now for the front..LOL

      I like the way it sits with the wheels and tire combo I went with now. Pics soon.

      Now...that lip kip from Canada is looking mighty tempting...LOL

      yea nothing like letting the car down and having your dad have to hold it up while you slide the jack out

      I have to admit..I was scratching my head and laughing when I let it down and realized it was stuck...LOL

      LOL, I just jacked it back up, slid the jack stand to the front tow hook and got the jack out, my neighbor had a good laugh as well.

      haha, I can't even comment how many times I've done that.

      The body of my cars 3.7" off the ground and parts of the suspension are only 2.1", the first time I got a flat tire after lowering that much was an intresting exp. I had to take a 10 min walk to find scraps to drive my car up on

      Funny thing...

      I've noticed the little shimmy I had after putting on my wheel and tire combo is gone after doing the drop.
