Dropped 2 Inches!

yes I lowered my MC 2 inches.

I was at the M7 Install Party at Steve's Auto Clinic in SoCal.
It was the weekend, Both M7 and Steve's AutoClinic are friends of mine.... happened to have a day off, rolled in for the day, had a great time talking to the other owners...
Then I lowered the MC 2 inches.

Installed M7 Springs. Advertised drop = 1.3 inches.
had some custom work done by Steve... and got the lowest drop possible off stock.

Feels GOOD and tight!

I've riden Hsports, Eibach, ETC these have been the best springs yet!

Progressive rate = sweet love!

I will try to post some pics as soon as I get my image editing program back on my HD!

Hey guys, I'm trying to get my images reduced for the web.

As far as the wheels, they are stock 15's on runflats.

If you can imagine.

It is pretty low, will look lower with new rims and tires... It makes other Stock MC's look like they are on stilts. Feels like it could get lower... but it is a stock MC, Maybe a new body kit will enhance the drop.

I promise to get pics up here as soon as possible!
