keep in mind these are not full air suspensions, so you will not get a lot of lift.

Front:


Rear (still debating on adjusting so I can get more lift):

Sorry I'm a newbie, but does that mean you have control of height without taking each wheel off, Like air but not as much travel like air.. tia

Car looks sick! I have Megans as well. I think they ride cool when dumped. Nice job. Nice wheels too.
