Yeh i know it does sit pretty high. The pics were taken right after it came off the jacks, so it does settle a little more but not much  . hmmm...  ...I might have to add a few bricks under the hood to lower it a tad until i can afford them nice springs and struts

Yeh i know  , just gotta explain to the wife why all this is necessary .
She says, "why do all this to a 4 cyl, it's not like you have a muscle car, lol". I tell her it's all about the fun of it!

You won't regret it! I have the same setup and it was worth every penny, althout I paid a sale price on the GC's new from Nopi, and got the Koni's at a steal new from eBay. Make sure you shop around but I am sure the classifieds buy will be a keeper .
