kenny, that's a sweet ride. i love the stance. how do those tokico shocks and springs ride? i have a vert too and i want to lower it some. it's a daily driver. i dont mind a firm ride, but i dont want it to be bone jarring. i also definately want to be comfortable taking long or quick turns with confidence.

thanks for your help dude.

Rides great with this set up. Nice firm ride, but not harsh. It takes corners much better than it use to.

I like the pro kit. I got them from K-Modified Racing (www.kmodifiedracing.com) They sell them for only $199.99. That is the cheapest I have seen them. Write them an email, they help a lot. They sell the sportlines too, But I decided not to do that much of a drop, eventhough I almost regret it now. Oh well.

You must not remember what the stock ride height looks like then

Well we can certainly tell yours in lowered. Dude, you're, like, scraping the ground. Don't the tires rub everything? Two inch drop? That looks more like you cut the springs in half! Please, don't be offended though...as this is not my intention. But, you're in the weeds, man! To each his own, but it's not for me...

Agreed 100%!!! Little bit much for me, but I'm getting to be an old fart anyway. Enjoy, dude - but watch out for manhole covers!
