sharif,thanks I knew that but for some reason UPS rescheduled the delivery date. Looks like a hold up at one of their stations. Hence the POOP nothing ment toward you guys. I'm more than happy with the service I've received.

Yeah, I noticed the delivery date was pushed back.....someone must have fallen asleep at UPS. Call or email when they arrive, so I know they got there safely.

Hey Chunky; Blueslate, gmlee86, and I pulled a "Fast & Furious" heist on the FedEx truck. Sorry! gmlee86 really likes your new rims on his G though. I will see if I can get him to take pics for you. Also MaxToTheG37, we found your long lost rims on the truck to. Blueslate REALLY likes them. There was no rims for me but I got some very nice Detailed Imaging car cleaning supplies. lol

Even steven

Thanks guys I needed a little lift. I got everything in, didn't follow my own thoughts about shortening about an inch. right now I got 27.25 in the rear and 27.5 in the front. I want to drop it a little more. I was real sketchy about adjusting the springs in the front. I shorted the rear springs about a1/4". I'm kinda confused about when to adjust the spings. I didn't do anything with the firmness yet. tomarrow is another day. Thanks for all of the advice. When I get it in the ball park I'll do some measuring and post what I got and where I took the measurements from. I think the inch thing may have worked out. My old butt is draging but remember I don't get mad I just get even. Any more advice is welcome. ooh my measurements are from the ground to the lip of the fender well. I don't think I'll be doing any late night posting tonight.

mine is sitting right around 26"

i left the springs alone, adjusted the rear shock to the same length as the oem shock, and lowered the front.. worked out good for me

just need to find some level ground to measure on.. mine is still about 3/16 off from side to side, but it might just be my driveway

Initial setting's

Guy's hope this helps. Remember this is my first go around with coilovers, if it sounds like I screwed something up please feel free to comment. This info is after a lot of trial and error. I drove about 3 miles after each adjustment and let it settle several nights throughout the process. Finally, a round trip of about 150 miles to the dealer for a muffler. Seems settled in but will see. Front, matched lenght of struts to the stock struts, no spring adjustment, shortened bottom adjustment 13 full turns= 1 7/8" drop (hard to hook up sway bar on driver's side) but looked good with the stock wheels! Lenghtened front struts 71/2 turns=1" drop. Stock was 28" now 27" Rear matched struts to stock struts. Made all adjustments with rear springs. Broke torque on lock rings rolled them up 9/16"=1.4" drop. Rolled the lock rings down till they where flush with the bottom of the adjustable portion = 1/2" drop. Rear is now at 27" Stock is 27.5" Got my new wheels and tires on so went with 1/2" drop in back for now. Hopefully, one of the experts who wants you to buy their BC coilovers will do a better post
