I used the Goldlines but still think it sits too high. The rear dropped 2" and the front 1.25-1.5". Another .5 to 1 inch drop in the front would be better. I may tweek it after I put the new wheels and tires on it. I think I am going with 18X8 fronts and 19X8 rear Budniks. It will look lower with the larger wheels and may be OK. They make a smoothie wheel for that salt flat look and you wont be able to see the ugly brakes.

Can't remember the thread name, but the pictures and members in my head, but there is a thread here about the spring clamps. They might be able to help you get that extra .5 or so you are looking for. Heck I'm probably going to try it.

It may be settling still. I had it aligned on Tuesday, window tint was done today and I was just noticing it looks lower in the front. It may actually be OK now. Once the new wheels and tires are on it if some changes are needed I will make them then. The lowering has improved the ride in my opinion.
Rear sway bar should be here in a day or two, it feels like it would benefit from a better one.

Here's the thread.......

WHICH WAY TO LOWER?

Thanks

Looking Good! Ya might wanna put the new tires and wheels on before you worry about how low to go as any lower may cause tires to rub the fenders.

Solid wheels are neat, but you need air flow to keep the brakes cool. Solid wheels will not allow that.

Welcome!

That blacked out grille is a good idea.... So how'd ya do it?

I didn't even see that! Thats what I want to do to mine too
