And the smiley face has a funny story behind it. It's actually on the bottom of a speaker box I built in high school. A buddy of mine put it there and called it "the sub dude." He adds db's.

I'm extremely happy with how it rides and handles now. It's soooo much better. It feels a lot more positive and set in turns. Even while driving regular, it rides like a performace vehicle is supposed to ride. It's a little bumpy, but I think that's better than bouncy.

The rear install is pretty ridiculously easy. Rear with springs and sway took maybe half an hour. Tops.
The front I messed up... I threw in the swaybar upside down. Took a minute to get it fished back out. Even scratched up some of the powdercoat. Oh well. No one will ever see it!
Remember, ALWAYS install with the typing so you can read it...

So do you have updated pictures of the Hotchkis springs after them settling? They look much lower than Tanabe DF210 which is great.
Did you have any extra weight in the car when you took that original cell phone picture?

Last time I measured, I had 25" from the middle of the wheel well to the ground. All the way around. I'm happy with it!

Thanks! Box is just plain dumb. It's probably the loudest thing I've ever owned or heard for that matter.
