Notice any difference in the ride quality/handling?

Drive it Nashville. You need a long drive to figure it all out.

The ride/handling has COMPLETELY changed! Brad just picked her up an I am sure will chime in. The car dropped a good 2.5-3" from stock ride height. This was the control arm relocation along with the Steeda springs that we installed. I only got to spend a short time behind the wheel prior to Brad picking it up so he will have to give a more in depth overview

I neglected to measure before and after but I would say that is a safe guess at the drop. It is significantly lower than it was. Brad has before pics and I am sure he will set up an after pic to show a comparison.
Paul, want to recap all the suspension mods on the car now?

We did not try it with the stock Panhard bar....I don't know what Steeda recommends but they didn't send one....Hotparts contacted Brad and offered him theirs so that is what we installed. I personally would recommend installing one when lowering the car.
As far as the height....if someone would take a tape measure and measure their '05/'06 with 18" wheels or if Brad had a chance to swing by Town & Country with a tape measure we could compare it to the current stance to get an accurate number. Ofcourse I would prefer to wait for a week or so of driving by Brad to make sure the springs had time to settle in as most springs like to do after a fresh installation.
