Let's Discuss - Cutting OE Springs...

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Kevin, I personally like it although the rear sould come down a little lower in my opinion.

Pssshh, too low... Looks perfect to me! I'd say it came out great! What are you still unsure about?

Thanks - I agree, I think it looks good. The "unsure" and "too low" comments are in regard to ride quality. It's not terrible. I'd really like to get a ride on Joel's to compare with the BMR, and one in Kevin's to get a feel for stock (even if it is V6 stock )

Kevin, I personally like it although the rear sould come down a little lower in my opinion.

Thanks, Jim - I want to tread lightly with the rear end. Need to top the tank off and get a few more miles on it and see how it sits. It actually settled a noticeable amount, and for all I know it may settle a little more. I think if I go much lower, it's going to have the appearance of saggy ass (even if it's truly level) due to the ridiculously hideous shape of the front wheelwell. Rears are easy to adjust and don't require an alignment, so I think I'll roll with it as-is for a whole and see what I think after some miles are on it.

OK, I am happy with it. The after is with a full tank of gas - pic is a little dark, but it's on a level surface. This is with 1.5 coils cut on the front, 1 coil on the rear.

After:

looks much much better.. nice work!

[Atrus]

Thanks guys. I am happy with it. I think it rides well - still would like to hook up with Kevin and/or Joel to get a side by side comparison so the three of us could comment on how ride quality differs from the BMR and stock setups. Nice thing is we're all on SLP Bilsteins

A few more items to check of the list this weekend, and then I'll be out and about in it again, so I am sure I can meet up with those two sooner rather than later.

Thanks, and will do! I am not in that neck of the woods often, but if I am out and about I will

Also, when I get it over to the Tech Center (hopefully next week), I can let you know too.
