Wondering what you guys think. I don't want much, simply for aesthetics.

Ive heard a few different amounts. Like 1" in front and 3/4" in rear.

Let me know what you have. Thanks!

This is typically what we recommend unless the owner has a different request.

Agreed. Gets rid of that wheel well gap in the front, improves the car's rake and attitude.

A high quality, super high value mod. Many thanks to Alex!

You saw my car Jason..... Kendall dropped it 1" front, 3/4" rear.... make sure you get proper alignment too.

Because it is "very" difficult to adjust these once they are assembled with the springs; particularly the front I preset them as follows;

10mm of thread exposed below the lock ring at the front and 20mm of exposed thread below the lock ring at the rear which drops the gal’s approx 1" plus a little at the front and 5/8-3/4" at the rear and then once the process is completed the toe will need to be tended to.

If you look at some of the gals on my website you can see the results.

Call or email me if I can assist
