Now THAT looks perfect!

Nice!

How much did installation run you? Did you need to install camber plates? ALignment problems?

Here are the before and after measurements:

LF RF
Before 28" 28-1/8"
After 27-1/8" 27-1/8"
Change 7/8" 1"

LR RR
Before 29" 29-1/4"
After 27-7/8" 27-7/8"
Change 1-1/8" 1-3/8"

I definitely noticed a difference getting in and out of the car, reaching into the trunk and just standing beside it looking down on the roof!

How much did installation run you?
Did you need to install camber plates? ALignment problems?
Installation of the springs and LCAs took 3 hours.
Did you need to install camber plates? ALignment problems? None that I was informed of...

Now that's what we've been needing. Actual B & A measurements! Way to go, Daniel.
BTW, I never thought of the advantage of the roof being lower... Makes it easier to wash the car!

Jason, the springs and the LCAs took 3 hours. Hope that helps.

How is the ride? Did it stiffen it up much? I really like my ride now, but that baby needs to be lowered so badly. LOL It looks great.
How's the ride...well, I think I would say it is a little stiffer but the look and the handling is worth the slightly stiffer ride IMO. I don't think it's any worse than my '03 GT (stock) was. The first ride I had in the '05, which was when I drove it off the lot after buying it without even a test ride, I noticed how much smoother it was than the '03. I think the longer wheelbase helps it a lot. My g/f didn't like riding in the '03 (motion sickness) but she doesn't mind the new one nearly as much. We're just going out tonight so I'll let you know her report on the ride!

So, here's my girlfriend's comments when I asked her what she thinks of the ride (she drives a Windstar): I feel like a bug; I feel like a have to squeeze my butt cheeks to keep them from dragging on the ground. (I think I could do that for her ). I asked her how she thought it felt compared to before and she said It's bumpier. Then I asked how it felt compared to the '03? She said It's bumpier. Then she asked me So why do guys want to make it bumpier?
