I hear you man. Bilstein's aren't exactly the greatest for slamming/tucking but we're managing quite nicely!

I think I just might undo the front coils and lose the lower locking ring this weekend to get me another ~1/4" down.

EDIT: J, I feel left out, can I be a member of Team Half ***?

Just a few shots of my car at its every day height. Our canyons have some rough spots so you need a bit of room to handle some of the tough sections . 215/45/17 tires on M7 coil overs.

Thanks

Not quite as customised as some of the cars on this thread but I think its quite clean - I recon some darkened front windows (B-pillar forwards) would help out together with a new spoiler (JCM spoiler should do the trick) and I need an aero kit - only problem is I want the US style rather than the Euro style and the only place that I found that did the US style over here hasnt got any left!!!

changed out factory shocks for FSDs with HR springs, and the call lifted about 1/2.......loved the look before, love the ride now, but MISS the look of love!!
Anyone driving FSDs with different springs, and have the drop right where u want it?

I had the same experience on my 03 MCS. Started with just the springs, loved the look hated the ride. Added the FSD shocks, stayed the same height in the front but the back went up 1/2". Others on this board have had the same experience.
