I think you have your spacers set up backwards. The general consensus on the boards is to have 20mm in the front and 15mm in the back.

I agree, also unless you get aftermarket shocks that are meant to work with lowered cars, then using stock shocks with such an aggressive drop will likely make them fail very quickly. part of the reason I went with half-downs.

I'm loving my set up so far and I rarely scrape.

Nice looking setup.

Strange, I've seen some members on here with Super Downs and they don't look as low as yours. I'm going to assume it may be from the angle of your photo, you don't have any spacers on and you didn't do an alignment yet. I mention the alignment because you're possible having some camber and after the alignment it'll fix the camber and raise it a tad bit. I would suggest getting some spacers like other members on this forum do. But I too bought the Super Downs and 20mm spacers all around and I have yet to install them. Refer to RayG's photo, his looks pretty good with the Super Downs. I don't know if I should be worried about installing them now after seeing your post...

Another thread you can refer to. After browsing through it, I really suggest getting some spacers so you don't have that "tuck look". Instead you'll have that flush look.

super downs looks good when first installed but give it a few months to a yr and it will settle much lower....also it will wear out your stock stocks faster and you'll be hitting the bump stop more often than not given the little suspension travel left after the drop....imo downs are the perfect balance ....just my 2 cents

Thank you for all your input! I think my heart is going to settle down with the Down Springs. Going to order them now and refund these Super Downs back!
