Do you remember how low you were for this ride height preset? Looks like a good height for daily driving and curious how much you were dropped for this setting

That height is about 25" fender-to-ground. Perfect DD height IMO.

I know I should stop picking on you, but I still find it ironic that you ever mention anything about anyone going lower ever. I mean, ever.

meek...that ain't true, but thank you.

Meh. 24" looks great, but the ride quality at 25" is so much better. Almost rides like stock.

Haven't made any tail decisions yet. Been lazy.

Correct. The MRII's are so concave that the spoke design doesn't like Brembos. I can confirm, however, that they will clear non-Brembos just fine.

Figured I should update my thread since it's been stale and the seasons have finally shifted in upstate NY...

First pic of my car with my freshly acquired Nikon D600. This camera is nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it:
DSC_3938 by ebelp, on Flickr

Used a Nikon 85/1.8D. The DOF is sickening. Almost no editing was done to this pic other than a resize and a minor unsharp mask filter.

Jumped on the Easter sale that VLEDS had recently and replaced my gen1 6k white V3 Triton switchbacks with the gen2 amber V3 Tritons, and also swapped my 6k DRLs for amber plasma DRL's. Love the change so far...

Guess I need to read up on these lighting mods. I'm really digging the all amber up front.

Heck, I don't even know what a "switchback" is. Isn't that a big gorilla or something?

He bought a new shed. Over 1000 screws and he's building it by hand. In negative 10 deg weather. While his wife nags him. While his kids keep flicking him in the balls.

Honestly. It takes it's toll.

LOL what Jeremy is trying to say is that we bought a new house, so it's been taking up a lot of my time. I've gotten quite good at lurking.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
