Hey Li,

That's what I thought. I'll probably check with the guy that I purchased my last set from. I believe I paid around $1,100, which included installation and taxes...the hold shabang...

My old 95 SC...

Thanks! Yep, that's my DD and weekend beater...I've always loved the classic 900's. Expecially the SPG's. I've been modding it trying to get it somewhere around the 300hp range. Would love to go more but the tranny's suck rocks in these cars...

Ciao fellas...

The Jag is under the blue car cover. It's an 87 XJS...

definitely get the megan co's. the ride isn't bad at all. at the softest setting, it's still very comfortable. stiffer than stock but not like a track car. i ended up putting mine at the middle setting approx. and i love it.
get some spacers for those wheels once you lower it to get them to fit right.

yeah they'll be needed unless you want those wheels all sunken in the fenders! the lower you go, the more the wheels sink into the fenderwells. just get a small spacer, nothing too aggressive!

Gotcha! Now that makes since. Question, with such an aggressive lowering would I also consider having something done to the camber in the front?

I remember that on my SC I didn't do any type of alignment or camber adjustment and I went through tires like there was no tomorrow...
