Well I went from sportsline like yours to H&R's with Bilstine HD's I did not drop that much around .625 in the front .750 in the rear. I have #1 pads all around. Its really not that hard to do I swaped out pads a few times and it only took 3 hours.

43Fatman your ride looks really clean. What are the specs on your wheels? Do you have a camber kit with your drop? I have H&R springs on my ride and im going to put #1 pads all around when I get new wheels.

I said WTF I just lowered it(I did give it 1 or 2 weeks before taking it in). My guy that does alignments was baffled too. Well I did not get charged so I was happy.

The wheels are 18x8.5 ET38 and 18X9 ET39 im running 245 40"s and 265 35"s now. On my next set im going to get 235's and 275's. I do not have a camber kit actually when i lowered it i took it to get an alignment they checked it and it was still well withen spec so they did not touch anything. I said WTF I just lowered it(I did give it 1 or 2 weeks before taking it in). My guy that does alignments was baffled too. Well I did not get charged so I was happy.
