Quite abit on the front. Im actually doing the rears as I type. Came in to check how much of the bump stop I have to cut away. This weekend the springs should have settled enough with me doing atleast 2 preloads if you want to call it during the week. You can see fri or sat.

Ps, my thumb hurts. Rule of thumb, hit the strut not your fingers.

Just springs. I wanted to get rid of that nasty gap before I got my wheels. I dont want to have a cutlass style DONK rx8.

Ill wait a bit and see how I like it. I prob will want to drop another 1/2+ with the wheels on though. Motivation to buy Coilovers I guess. I finished the rear in under 3 hours, checking to see what bolts to let slack to do 'preload'.

So all done with this project. Im happy with the drop, just enough for the wheel/tire combo. Still afraid of it creaming my fender if I hit a pot hole.
