Very nice drop. How is the handling now?

It hurts my eyes to see good coil overs matched up with some exclaim UHP tires...

did you address what to do with the rfuel tank lines to get to the ear drivers side bolts in vids? I tried skimming thru and didnt find it...If you could, that's be awesome!

For the fuel line we simply undid the bolts and bungeed back the whole contraption
there onto the passenger side to get it out of the way. It was not an issue at all to get to that rdriver side rear shock tower.
Post-install, the car is definetly improved on handling! I haven't done anything too aggressive - driving-wise, but everything seems much more responsive.
It's definetely a track warrior now! My next mod will probably be a full cat-back exhaust!

The coilovers had at least another 1 1/2 " of threads left to go lower....
but the first adjustment was the only one we made. We decided it loooked bad
enough were the height was and didn't bother going any lower or higher any more after that. We jacked her back up after and tightened all the coils were they were.

I'm pretty sure if i wanted to i could go down another 1/2" - 1" on the tires i have - but probably not going to do that anytime soon
