          that's perfect. just what I wanted for my vert. I take it the back is the same or a bit lower? I want the clearance to be the same between the front and rear wheels. Can you take a pic of the whole side of the car?

          Now we just have to find out how the car handles with these. :-) thanks for going to the trouble of installing and throwing pics up.

              you're working with a 380.00 set up. :-) consider a drop of 1/2 inch left a blessing..lol.

                  See this is what I was waiting for; whether to spend 800-1000 for a nice kit or cheap out on this for 380.00. I didn't want to cut and weld. If the car still needs to settle chances are it will drop a bit more making the tire almost flush..... oh... for the extra cheaper set up I figured there was room in the budget for sarcasm...lol.

                    I could say the same!

                      My rears have been on for 4 days and have settled 1/2 inch. It took a couple of months for my other springs to fully settle. I'm thinking they'll drop another 1/4" . These are undersized VW tires. And to all those wondering about the spring rates i'd have to say they are nowhere near the rates we were quoted (based on comparing to my prokits, h&r sports, and races). They are pretty similar to sports i'd say so get the vert kits for firmer spring

                          For that low, I'm just going H&Rs and Billy shocks. Take me off the list please. Good luck to the rest of yous guys.

                            All the way. It would probably just tuck with normal tires. I suppose you could get almost another 3/4" if you removed the perch and pads.
