Default Lowering her.

Pro Kit install Sat. with help of a friend. Thought it good to have guidelines handy. Someone posted a guide to doing it, can't remember how far back that was. Any chance I could see those again so I could print it? Thx a bunch.

Installed springs for the 1st time today. Pro Kits went on without a hitch. Start-to-finish 5 1/2 hrs. Paid myself $60/hr by not paying a shop. Been alot of ?s about the drop, or lack of drop, of the Pro Kits. Thought I'd help clear it up....I left the isolators out....1 1/8" front drop and 1 1/2" rear drop...and it looks GREAT, imo ofcourse! Leaving in the isolators would raise it by no less than 1/2". That's where people aren't seeing any, or seeing very little, drop and it really is a waste of $230. The gap, though not slammed, is a helluva lot less...comparitively speaking, I'd say 1/4"-1/2" more gap than H&R SS (with isos in). The ride is very nice...yes, even w/o the isolators. Thier would finally be pics of a SY Mach but my old school **** is still taking lessons on that stuff. A big thanks to 562cobra for showin' some love with the helpful instructions.

Now, if I could teach myself to install my 4.10s.

Cool man, lets see some pictures. Upload them to www.photobucket.com and use the [IMG] code. I wanna see et nowuh!!!

Now for the gears, I strongly suggest taking it to a shop and letting them handle that. If I ever do gears, which I probably won't, I have a friend that went to UTI that will help me if I ever decide to do it.

If you bought the springs new, let them settle for like a week, and it will eventually drop a little lower. I myself have the H&R super sport springs.

There are two types of H&R springs: Race springs and Sport springs. I have the super sports which I believe are now discontinued. No iso's you are correct, you shall receive one free internet.

Figured no isos especially in the front, as my rear is similar to yours but my front definately a full inch higher. Damn that's low.
