lowered on megan springs an hour ago, really pissed i didnt back the car up because it sat about 3/4 of an inch higher the way it sat coming off the lift.

Long and short of it, its about an inch lower than in the picture and .......... I HATE IT! I did them on stock struts thinking that ill be picking up fe5's in april, but the ride is just unacceptable. my back hurt for a 45 min drive home. I do have the WORST roads ever in MA but still. really disappointed at first drive. ill give it some time and see if i like it any more, granted getting struts will help considerably correct?

Rough ride is the price of being low

My car is a tenth faster than my buddys TT duramaxx.and he launches in 4wd on stock suspension/tires.Deisels are fast,but have to have loads of money in them to be 12's or faster.which normally people don't do.Most people here do intake exhaust and a programmer and thats it.
