It looks good, but is it a spring only lowering job?
Looks are not the only thing going on here...
How does it handle? Better, worse?
How bout addressing all the other issues involved with lowering the S197?

Of course dB steps in to bust somebodies *****! Eibach pro-kit w/ camber bolts ftw! Stock struts, no panhard bar ftw! Lol but on a more serious note it doesn't bother me riding on stock shocks/struts especially without an adj. pnahard being my axle didn't shift, if it did its not noticeable. I'll get around to those soon enough.
