they actually ride lower than I thought, but you still need some spacers to really fill things out.

Perhaps an alignment would put things straight.

Have you tried bagging the rear end?

these are actually not for lowering, they're for raising/perking up the whole front end. they eliminate uneven sagging from side to side...you know, that way it's always at an even level. having a ****-eyed setup is NOT attractive.

They will give you a wider stance though as they lift your car and separate.

But seriously did this guy think we were going to go on there and buy a bunch of stuff. I hate when that happens especially when my 4 year old or my wife is sitting around. That is a fun one to explain.

I have nothing to do with some bra shop in whatever asian country the
W124 bra originates in.
I just thought it was a funny coincidence and don't edit my sense of humor according to family values. I'm sure wifey will concur.

I don't see any reference to bounce or rebound. Am I missing something?

Also, am I mistaken, or is this a lift-kit? I'm not really in the market for one of those right now, but to each his own, I guess...

Also, is this the setup that allows easy access for tinkering and what-not?

Fully adjustable. You can mess with the height, distance between the two, and even size if you get it just right.
