^ word. Thanks for the photos and answering all of my questions. Can't wait to see what it looks like pancaked cause my gs is white also. My philosophy is go big or don't do it at all and I wanting to do this. Are u using the Dakota auto leveling system?

Zach at uas told me that this is the lowest awd. Usually. When modding. The struts you get about a 3 inch drop but i wanted more so i got 4.5 inch more drop on the mod.

No i haven't installed a leveling system yet. With having a baby on the way the wife is pinching my wallet lol. But that is next. Also im in the market for more aggressive. Offset wheels like vip modulars in a 20x9.5 front and 10.5 rear with low offsets

Yah zach i think is one of the owners. And richard. Is incharge of sales, they have been. In the industry for years and do lots of high end cars airrunner is good but when i priced it was 4600.00 for single comp. And. Tank. They say you need 1 comp for every 2 gallons. So after all the accessories. I was looking at 6 grand,.. universal was alot cheaper and more in the kit. What ever decision u decide to go with i suggest staying away from coilovers and lowering springs...

That's news to me. My rear camber is out of specification as well (too negative). Was that his issue? Honestly, I don't see how a negative rear camber contributes to highway vibration. I'd have the wheels/tires undergo a road force balance. BMW X5's with a sport package have at least -2.0 degrees of rear camber and you don't hear of them complaining about highway vibration.

there is a camber kit available now. search 3gs forum, and you should find it. mike - Passnu - is the one who found it. he actually sold it not too long ago....
funny that you are having camber issues - i am lowered quite a bit, and i got 30k out of my last set of tires. no camber wear at all. none on my new tires as well. sitting at 26", which may be a bit higher than you....

well i didnt want to keep posting because it seems like everytime i have, something bad as happened and pushed me back lol.
i received an email today saying the part is designed and ready to be machined
hopefully in a week or so i can have the part to test out and see if this resolves our issue. hopefully posting this wont have some kind of bad luck like it usually does *crosses fingers*

Thanx Nardeezy for summing all ~spring-installed experience.
Does anyone have experience of driving lowered suspension in really cold winters.
Winters about -20 degrees (i think it's about 0 F)
Any vibrations or discomfort as been said in the beginning of the thread.
p.s. sorry for my eng.

For me very hard to get one thing ...
MORE DROP with Tanabe NF or with F-Sport ?
Drop for Tanabe - 1.1" and 0.9"
Drop for F-Sport - 1.0" and 1.0"
Correct ?
Has anyone pics of Tanabe + stock wheels ?
