Yes, and I'm almost certain the springs were sagging pretty bad though.

Looks good! I didn't take any specific "before" shots of mine, but I'll try to post up some B and A ones when I get home. What spring rates did you end up using?

Looks like it. Those are as low as my tanabes in the front in the before shot.
The new drop looks good! Watch out for steep driveways!

Asha'man:
I have the 600/400lbs springs and I can definately fell every bump, expansion joints get pretty dicey sometimes
But on the plus side the body roll is GREATLY reduced,
Durrby:
I haven't checked the drivers wheel well yet, but i have heard that with the bump stops, i shouldn't worry about it
OneJay:
About those driveways, I was a little worried at first, but so far I havent bottomed out on anything except 1 speed bump, but hey I was going way to fast, with 3 ppl in the car :egads

Thanks! Wish I had better fitment but that's my only real complaint.
Round 1000$ For the setup, and I do all my own work and we have our own shop, so no labor cost thank god.

Some people love it, others hate it. It's like the eBay headlights.
Im re-doing them in black though.
