Had about 3-4" on the ground about 1-2 hours ago ... will be going out again in about 1-2 hours after I put another coat of polyurethane on the steps, I'll see then how much we have

Washed and waxed the car tonight. Vacuumed, dusted, leather conditioner applied and windows cleaned. It's like a new car again. Nothing ruins it more than a fresh rain. Hopefully we don't get any for a few days and we can enjoy the clean car. The console and instrument cluster seem to be magnets for dust. I clean it often, but the dust comes right back! Oh well. It's clean now.

Why on God's green earth would you want to go any lower?!? I'd have the front of that whole car ripped off a half mile from home! Don't understand this younger generations love of lowered dragging bottom cars?

Its fully adjustable at the push of a button, but I have to agree that its a bit too low. The sportlines/h&r is as low as I'd ever go, although those are permanent. Adjustability would be nice but I'm just not a fan of having the wheels tucked in the fenders.

Shouldn't even bother with a response. Yeah, I won't.

It's not even touching the flaps haha. I thought it would based on pics of others' aired out cars, but maybe my wheel/tire combo isn't letting it go all the way down. On the rear it's sitting on the tire.

I do need to adjust the coilover collars up a lot in the front and a little in the rear. For my desired ride height (think Pro-kit or Steeda Sports), I need to lengthen the struts and shocks so that I can run less air in the bags. Not too difficult, but I do need to jack the car up to adjust those collars. They come out of the box all the way low.

You do know that he has an air kit setup, right?

its impossible to drive that S197 how its shown in that picture without causing some sort of damage. I'm talking about going low from a STANCE perspective.

My S197 is STOCK because I actually like driving at STOCK height, even if I had an air kit setup on my S917, it would stay up.

If it were parked, that's a different story.

AH! yeah, its hard to tell from the picture. To me, it looked like it was resting on the mud flap upfront. although, it looks tucked enough haha.

I bet those 19's your wifey is getting you could maybe allow you do drop the back end more depending on the offset / tire combo you go with. I know you said it it may not make a difference in your text message, but.... never say never!

How does it handle compared to your past configurations? Is it much heavier?
