Update!

I lowered my car more. About an inch in the front and half an inch in the back.



Looks a LOT better, I'm glad you guys convinced me to do it. It too forever to do though.

I had a problem with that too. I just unbolted the 12mm bolt that holds the brake line in place. It's toward the lower control arm I think...can't remember the exact location. Once I removed that and the upper controll arm it was easy.

Thanks! You said the front looks like your drop, what does the rear look like?

What do you mean you'd be bad? It's very easy to set it, just takes time and patience.

i have a threshold of patience that can only be descirbed as very very low. i don't think i could adjust the suspension evenly, ever. i'm just backwards as hell i guess.

It's not that hard. Maybe I just get lucky after I'm done cause it's usually dead on.

damn, well that looks pretty good. I think I'll be getting that rather than the $900 TEINs. But I'm still gonna have a shop install it.

The ride quality is really good. On smooth roads it's better than stock since in doesn't undulate anymore. It's kinda harsh on big bumps and speed bumps, but I think that's just cause it's lowered as much as it is and it may be hitting the bump-stops. I have it set on 1 front and 1 back. That's when I want a cushy ride. If I want to step it up and drive hard, I set it at higher.
