I got my L-tuned GS springs installed and the car looks good, but still only 1 finger gap in the rear? is that normal? I have not done an alignment yet after 2 suspension installations, may that be the problem? Getting that done tomorow.

Yeah I have intrax, but they are supposed to lower the car only 1.5" which is just about the same as L-tuned I believe.
I've seen them on other cars and the drops is just perfect, but my set-up looks a little bit strange. I should be gettin my wheels in this week and once I have htem mounted I'll take pics and see if it looks a little better with 18s and summer tires.
