Well the KYBs and the B&Gs were installed. It looks great. The car dropped a bit lower than I would have liked, but the hideous wheel gap is gone in the front. It's got a little bit of a raked look, not sure why the back is higher, but the ride is awesome. Can't wait to test it on some twisties! Thanks for the advice guys.

I know we're raining on the parade but I have KYB's on stock springs on my SHO. It's part beater although in very good shape. I just wanted stock dampening and I think I would have been better with stock Ford struts.

Yeah but Todd she's on Intrax springs which are pretty slammed.
It's a totally different ball game here.

Nothing ever changes around here, does it. I appreciate it, ya'll, really I do. I'm happy with it, and contrary to CEG opinion, it will last for what I need it for.
