That looks sweet. I like it. How did you drop it? I heard so many ways of dropping it but which one did you follow?

i actually went to a shop that does them all the time with a bracket set. I told them that I had seen instructions on how to do it another way on this forum. they were open to learn how so I did a search and pulled up the DIY while at the shop. They thought that was a pretty brilliant idea so they tried it on my car...the pic above is the way it looked at first. after playing around a bit, we were able to get it up to the perfect ride height. we used 3 washers in the front and moved the bolts down about .75" in the rear. the shop guy still thinks i should get his brackets installed for the front because they make the car much easier to adjust in the future. i will take it back for that once my wheels come in.
