            Sorry it took me so long. Here are some pictures I found on hand:









            And see sig for general clearance. ;)

            EDIT: Also, the Alpine 318is is on JOM's as well, for you sedan guys. I'll also take pictures of my oil pan height in the morning. I do have a peerless skidplate that'll be going on though.

              Drop looks great on 14s! ^
              Wonder what they would like on 16s on a vert...and I wish someone local to NJ had them installed so I could go for a quick ride and see for myself - that would seal the deal!

                    Just got done putting mine in. Only have one shitty pic for you guys.


                    That was six threads left in the fronts and just bottom adjuster in the rears. No spring pads anywhere. Installation was pretty straight forward. Getting the stock springs out was the hardest part for me as I had some shady ways of compressing the spring. Also the collars that hold the stock struts in were SUPER rusty and needed a little heating to be broken free with a pipe wrench.

                    Didn't drive it much yet but I dont rub anywhere and its a bit stiffer than stock. Stays ALOT flatter in turns.

                      Very nice Dennis! I had the same problem with my collars too. But with enough an persistence, it sure as he'll was coming off.

                      I rub if the front half of the car is on an incline and I'm near or at full lock. (It's happened more than you think.)

                        spiDmang - any issues with bottoming out the shocks or anything like that? Drop and car looks good :)
