Dropped the front right at an inch. Just slightly more than half of what stock gap was. Ride so far is smoother but I just installed last night and weather was trash today so I haven't driven it as much as planned.
Camber is right on the edge of spec but I have the SPC adjustable ball joints to install to make up for the drop. It will be perfect after they are installed

if you know them would you mind pm'ing me with the specs of the wheels and tires
I am going to go with Swift springs to start, and I am curious if my Work's will rub. Also did you require any fender modifications?

Rear 20x10.5 +43 275/30/20 (picture I posted ) Now 265/30/20
Rear fenders are rolled to the max. Garage Life in El Monte, CA did an awesome job! With the 275's I was still rubbing on dips, hard turns etc. I had to switch to 265's to get rid of the rubbing. I thinking about 285/25/20 for the rears when these tires wear out. The fronts rub on the fender lining when I turn backing out at an inclined angle. ( hope that makes sense )

Do you think your setup would rub on factory height on the rear? I am on the fence on either going with swifts or just doing the front 25mm lowering spacers from VIP salon. I am looking at wheels with the same/very close specs and want to do 285/30/20. I am praying I don't need to roll the fenders etc.
