Default New toy

Just installed my JIC Magic SA-1s, these units are height and damper adjustable. I had it dumped, one 1inch off the floor, but when I got home I tore the crap out of the rubber thing under the fender. I settled with lowering 1in. on the front and 1.5 in on the rear.

The rears were hard to put in since you had to take off the rear seats.

It really grabs the to the ground much better and I have the stiffness set to level 5.

You should have seen it when it was like 1inch off the floor. Too bad I couldnt get up my driveway. It was lower than this. Way lower! But as you can see my driveway is steep.

I am into the performance and cornering turns fast thing, bags will just take room up in my car, just not my taste. But I did think about it.
