Hi Leo!! Is this really your old car? Well, it's mine now!! Muhahahaha... I guess you're riding something even nicer now. I got this from John. He's a cool guy.

I just got it raise today. It's now looking kinda high. But I hate dips and driveway scraping more than the 4x4 look so that's ok. I find out that the Advox uses air to adjust damping. Does anyone have the factory manuals or reference guide for shock adjustment? With the shock raise it's riding actually softer then the blistein front with tanabe. It's a bit floaty but then I came from a Miata riding on Tein Flex. Overall I think this is great. Any suggestion on improvement to the car?

If you put the 20" wheels back on the car will raise and then you can lower it back down. This will improve the look of the car and still give you the ground clearance you need.

Here is my car with the same kit, lowering, and 20" iforged.

Hey Nice ride. Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll keep it as it for now. Wife would not approve of the upgrade so soon. But shouldn't the circumference of the tires be the same regardless of rim size assuming you're keeping stock numbers? If so then how can 20" be larger than 18"? Just curious...

When you increase rim size, you reduce tire sidewall to compensate.

I've been doing pretty well. Been real busy lately so haven't hit the boards. But LM is coming back hard this summer. We have quite a few things that are getting ready to be released. Keep posted!
