Yup, fronts are all the way down, haven't had a chance to get the rear down some more, but it will be coming down a bit. Need to figure out where exactly its rubbing and see if i can take care of that first.

Cool. Looks awesome. Way to fill out the wheel wells. Stanceworks worthy I have about 4 full threads left on my front adjustment ( H&R's as well) so it is nice to see what no threads left in front looks like.

Enjoy, Greg

Can't quite remember exactly, but pretty sure about the same as my fronts. The rear adjusment is harder to get to that the front...i can go lower but think the rear is at perfect height.

I myself have H&Rs, thinking about selling them to pick up some BC coils. The car looks great btw, the drop made it 10x better

Any reason why you're wanting to switch?

I'm pretty active in the VW/Audi scene and I'm a huge fan of wagons, so picking up that thing for just over $500 was too hard to pass up, it's my side project

Doesn't it rub when driving? in my country its suicidal to have a car this low due to pot holes and excessive speed breakers but i love the looks. Mine is about and inch higher than yours but thats the max i can go.

haha not so bad, just gotta be careful. Roads are pretty good where I drive regularly. Went driving on some back roads today, and hit some bad roads and scraped the underbody of the car a couple times Was rubbing kinda bad in the back too, so the rear spacers are coming off. Also hitting up the Tail of the Dragon Thursday I think

Ha thanks man, so happy with it. Might bring the rear down a tad bit but I'm really happy with where its at. Bringing in the rears to run 265's hopefully soon.
