seems that the car does lower when locked, I hear the air come out of the suspension. I like that, but why do you want to shut that feature off? I wish the car sat like this all the time.

Thanks! I just got it done. I used lower links.

Over all i like it. But im going to raise it up 1/2 inch or so. The ride is decent and not that much more noticeable in comfort until you hit bigger bumps and it absorbs much less.

Id highly suggest buying a camber kit if you plan on lowering. It's worse then expected and in the future if I keep it low im going to be doing so. As I sit now im at 3° camber.

Here is another picture to show true ride hight when its not locked and parked:

that looks sweet. where did you get the lowering links and how much was it to have them installed? also, what did you use to shine the tires, I have the continentals and they dont shine like that.
