as you can see the front settled quite a bit, took i'd say almost 2 1/2 weeks to get to it's lowest point, back settled a little, but not nearly as much as the front did.

i think it rides great, smoother than stock a bit bouncy over the freeway joints under 40mph, but that's expected with a lowered car - my car RAILS around corners now - i think it's the perfect drop as i clear my parking garage by about 1/4" any lower and i'd scrape like crazy.

even with 4 people in the car, it still rides nice and smooth.

i'm on the stock tires now, but for christmas *i think* i'm getting a set of Axis Mod7 wheels 18x7.5 with 215/35/18 tires (2" lip front, 3" lip rear), and i'll post up again if i get 'em about the ride with the big wheels and lo-profile tires :)

Is the front higher then the rear? Or maybe its the angle, does the car feel like it is huggin the road?

it's parked on a sloped driveway, so it probably looks lower in the back than it really is - it's lower in the front parked on flat ground, i'll try and take some pictures of it in a flat parking lot tomorrow so you can see the rake.

and ya, it feels more like a sports car now, even with the tall roof, it really handles well imho/.
