Calling Ghostrider
Ghostrider - how's the project going? Can you post a pic of your car showing the front and back before you change your shocks? I'm interested to see how #3 in back and #1 in front looks. TIA.

The last picture I posted was with the #3 in the rear. So, now I have #4 in the rear and #1 in the front so I will post a pic of that this week.

Thanks Ghost. What's your gap in inches now? Looks like maybe one but it's hard to tell.

P.S. - what the heck's going on in the avatar?

Hey Ghostrider!

Did you install the swaybars yourself, or did you have someone do it for you? I'm just curious as to how the rear was installed?

It's 1.25" in the front and about 1" in the rear.

Naw, I had the shop do it when they installed the springs, they said it was a bit of a booger though, but nothing to charge premium for.

Looks good! I don't think I'd have it any lower!

Here you go. I tried that myself, but it kept flacking off, but it may work if you had a shop do it. I need to get a new front bumper impact strip, so I will look into them doing it then.
