Got the lip from Neal at http://www.euroteckmotorsports.com/. You can check with him, but I think I got the last one.

I had Renntech install it while it was on the lift being lowered. It looked pretty simple. But then again, it's always easier when the car is on a lift. There are several people on this board who have installed themselves.

Make sure you post some pics!!

as soon as I get the lip - I am headed into my garage to put it on - Neil said it was pretty simple -

how was Renntech? I have thought about going over to have them lower my car - however, the car does not seem to need much of a drop - my 05 has 18s stock (yeah I am a newbie - maybe they all have 18s) and there is bared 2 fingers between top of tire and fender.

How much did they charge to do the drop?

Renntech was great. The springs were $525 and about $600 for labor including allignment.

if you mean the install plus allignment was $600 then it was a great deal. If you meant $600 was only the labor and alignment then that's damn expensive. In SoCal that can be done around $250.

I will have to post some newer pictures. The car sits a lot lower now that the springs have settled over the last 18 months.
