STAR lowering blows.....pony up and get an ELM. It is well worth it. Impresv is selling his for $700. STAR will probally be around $300.

The only disadvantage STAR has vs ELM, is not being able to adjust it without visiting a shop and paying the fee again.

Being able to adjust it is worth the extra money alone, IMO.

If you live near Overland Park call Aristocrat and ask for Clinton Wong he will get you hooked up.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can drop the car more than STAR will allow using the ELM too?

IMO once you get the desired height the car needs to be alined at that particular height. Each time with the the ELM or star you mess with the ride height the alignment is also thrown off spec, so I dont see the reason to have the ELM becuase once the ride height is set and you have your alignment done you are set.
