Default Finally dropped my 430

BIG thumbs up to Grip industries (Rob and Pete)
This is by far my most noticable investment

Installed my Megan Racing Coilover 32 way adjustable setup
i have only drove it for around 30 miles but the ride is pretty nice for being lowered and all..... going over bumps, hit a set of railroad tracks about 50 MPH with no complaints...
..This definatly eliminated about 75% of the body roll.....

Sorry ahead of time for pictures taken with my phone







Can't go a whole lot lower in the front as my driveway is a little steep (this is comming in with alittle angle)

That's why I didn't get a Greddy front lip. It's too bulky and so you can't drop the car much at all with scraping/damaging the lip. At least you can feel the suspension improvement.

Those MRRs should let you get rid of a lot of that wheel gap while not lowering the entire car much more than it sits now.
