Very nice. What kind of links? How much did you get it lowered?
Did you have to realign the car ? May be I should lower mine too.

The pics kind of suck. The sun was shining in the garage so that pics did not come out real well. I paid $300 for the links. I have not yet had it realinged. Install took about an hour - pretty simple. The top setting (2 lights) is about where the car was (prior to install) when it was all the way down (no lights). 1 Light is about 1/2 inch lower (roughly 1 finger gap betweem tire and fender) and no lights - is LOW. Ride quality is decent with 1 light on the ABC. If you put it all the way down - the ride is pretty rough.

how much shorter and olonger did you go on the end links? I have heard other measurements but just trying to see what you went with.

I would say that I would +/- 5MM on each(I do not recall which one was longer and which was shorter)- but I tried to be consistent for both. The drop is pretty good. The best setting is 1 light. There is no rubbing with it all the way down, but as I said the ride it totally harsh!
Floor came out pretty decent. It has held up going on 5 years... well worth it!
