What's the end result you're looking for?
I bought my springs to help reduce the gap in the wheel well.
If handling is any better, that's icing on the cake. I'm not autocrossing or racing.
I just got tires with higher sidewalls... that did the trick in the back end.

Yeah, I was mainly wanting to close the gap, which was very noticeable in the front before the s-techs. Now the front looks good, but still some gap in the back. I'm planning on bumping up to 19s in the near future, so maybe that will help, but I'd like the front and back to look pretty identical as far as ride height.

Also, do you guys know how wide of a wheel you can put on without having to roll the fenders?

Team, what could you do, how much would it cost, and would it effect the ride much?

it's just a loading technique, shouldn't affect the ride, no charge, no idea on how much lower it might get. Just have to try and see.

I'm stuck at work until 8:30 most Monday and Tuesday evenings, and live in Downtown Dallas, so it'd be kinda late before I could get out to Keller. I get off work Wednesdays around 7, or I'm usually free most weekends. Let me know what works best for you.

I am out of town Fri evening - Sun the next three weeks

since you are in downtown I assume you don't have a garage? If you do have one I can come do it there instead. I need an excuse to go eat dinner at Tei-Tei or Teppo over there.

Nope, unfortunately no garage, I'm in an apartment complex. Do you know any other guys that have a garage close to downtown? If not, I'll try to think of someone I know that could lend us one. Otherwise, I'll just come up to Keller in a month or so when you're back on a weekend.
