How is the ride being that low do you bottom out on everything now or would you say it is a pretty smooth ride.

Having had my car driven around for 2 months at that height, I can tell you 2 things:

1. They bottom out on EVERYTHING. Inclines, declines, speed bumps, you name it.

2. We had a suspicion that my front coilovers blew because they were cranked at their maximum drop so that at moderate to high speed, if I suddenly encountered a sudden dip on the street or highway, I would hear a nasty clunk (the associated sound of a shock body hitting the stops). After 2 months, my front coilovers were leaking and had to be rebuilt. (But they could also be caused by the "left" being installed on the "right" and vice versa, even though all of us doubt that that would be the cause of the rebuild).

Yeah its pretty low you have to use a couple pieces of wood to get the jack out. I actually raised the front 4 full revolutions on the perch and a couple in the back. I was bottoming out on everything!!! now its much better and still tucking the top of the tire. The ride is decent but a bit stiff due to being HAs this weekend I will soften the dapening to see if that helps.

The L-SPORTLINE front bumper looks great at that low altitude!
