So I finally got around to doing part of this install. Did the rear springs today and the rear axle lined up exactly as before.

Wheel hop seems to now be completely gone. Already cornering much better and launches are solid. I rented the spring compressor so hopefully will be able to install the front springs tomorrow.

Do I need to get an alignment with new front springs?

All done. Much better. Hit a bump or hole in the road at speed now though and you friggin know it, even with the new lower bumpstops But she corners a lot better. Totally worth it.

Came in for the pics. Left brokenhearted.

Let me know if I can set you up with some LCAs.
