update…I threw the lowering springs back on the rear tuesday…car rode like shit. Hitting a small bump sent my spine cracking…I got on the gas from a slow 20 roll and all it did was leave 2 tire marks until I let off the gas…car doesnt hook up for shit with the lowering springs so I took them out and put my stockers back on…much better ride and hooks up much better. ---
