Wow...alot lower than I would have imagined. Can't wait to see what they'll look like once they settle. Looks great...But perhaps a bit lower than what I want practical wise.

Hmm.....I didn't do a comparison measurement, but i can, the next time Steve stops by. It's really hard to tell by pics. One car is on stock wheels, on the other on Volks, and one car is black....the other is white. Maybe it's just an illusion.

Steve and I both agreed, that his car looked about 1/4 higher all around, when compared to mine with the S-TEchs'

I still havent aligned mine yet....7000 miles on the PS2's and the tires look great so far....I am guessing I will get abouit 12K out of the rears...and 17K out of the fronts.....even with close to -2.5 to -3.0 all around.

Funny thing, is the car handles so much better with the aggressive camber and toe.

The car felt "squibbly" (Is that even a word) before I had it aligned. Now that it's aligned it feels great. Very similar to my old 350 that felt like it was on rails. The suspension feels soft when riding around normal (very close to stock), but handles a ton better when you take turns hard. The only thing I feel this car needs is the front strut brace to firm things up a bit more. But overall I love it. I rarely scrape too which is way different than my eibach setup on the 350.
