Sh*t I may just buy a set of ksports and try those. They'll probably drop it lower. Plus they aren't that expensive.

Did the ksports just settle wrong or something? That's weird that the rear would settle lower then the front.

Haha. That's always a plus. I think I kinda just want another inch lower front and rear and I'll be content. These new rims and tires made it a little lower already.

Ok so I've been strongly considering cutting the springs to drop it a little lower. I really only need about another half inch and I really hate buying new springs again just for another half inch. I know the front springs aren't too hard to cut but it's the rears I'm concerned about. Since both top and bottom of the spring have that hole to line them up is there any way to cut them and keep them from shifting around afterward?

not really.the bottom is what you would cut since the beam still has a cupped pirch,but it may still move around.not sure on that one.
