the sportlines were way way too low in the front, couldn't drive anywhere without something hitting, so I found a set of steeda sports and figured that would be a little more subtle, esp since they were used and had a claimed 35k miles on them. nope. right back up to stock height in the front.

the rear looks good, although I don't think it lowered it more than 1/4 inch or so. so yeah I'm rockin the baja look for a minute. the ride is definitely way better than with the sportlines in.

anyway I haven't received the mm plates I ordered yet so when I bring it back next week, I'm gonna have him heat up the fronts a little and bring the front down an inch or so. he said he's done it a hundred times like that. no pics cause it looks like crap, but at least I can drive it now.

DON"T HEAT SPRINGS!!!!!!!!!!! If you want it lower take a die grinder and cut off half a coil to a full coil.
