Looks like they don't have very much drop, from the stock setup. "Moon"

5/8" overall drop, these are performance springs not stylin' springs.

i'll get some updated photos when the weather clears up now that i've had them on for about a month, i think they look great and the handling is amazing. oh and i have no issues going over the speed bumps in my neighborhood.

So we know how they handle but how's the ride on general roads? Stiff? Bouncy? Does your dash sound like a sledge hammer when hitting pot holes?? Any difference in traction during the rain??

Just a few general questions since you've been driving around on'em for a bit......

on general roads, they ride is very smooth, they have a stockish feel to them. they aren't real bouncy, maybe a tad bit more than stock. as for pot holes, haven't hit one because the wagon handles so well now that i can easily avoid them. there is a road i drive every day that does have recessed manhole covers and my wagon takes them quite well but then again they aren't very deep, maybe 1-1.5" deep. driving in the rain is all good, tho i'm yet to really test it out in the rain (due to a past accident i'm scared to attempt anything dumb in wet conditions). but you're in luck, we're expected to get lots of rain over the next couple days so maybe i'll find an empty parking lot and goof off.
