    Default ::.. Lowered, Vogtland on Bilstein HDs

    Installed them yesterday with help from Bruno. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The fender gap is history! THANKS BRUNO!

    Ride FEELS good. I feel more connected to the road but without being harsh. Bumps are more pronounced and my mp3/cd player seems to feel it more than I do now.

    Body roll is DRASTICALLY decreased. No longer need to hang on to the armrest to take the offramps more quickly Great!

    Next thing is to tighten all the linkages, dial in the steering, install delrin inserts... and when spring comes around and it's wheel time...

    The difference is like summer and winter, heh.

    NB: BTW those are wheel covers

    How do you shave the bumpstops? Are we talking internal bumpstops?

    That looks a good 1/2" lower than my Sachs kit at all four corners.
