They will probably drop a little more after a few hundred miles. It looks good though and will look even better after it finishes settlling.

Same as my other post regarding lowering:

Looks cool...Does it take you half an hour to get into a parking lot now? Im also curious about the handling. I have found that when under hard cornering and hitting a little dip or bump in the road unsettles the stock suspension in the car pretty badly..I would think this would make you rebound like you were on a pogo stick.

It drives really well and takes speed bumps fine. Might worry about parking with curb height.

Did some hard cornering today where the car would normally push the front tire into a slide and now it grips instead. You almost start to see a bit of oversteer ,but very controllable. Overall the car is much "flatter" into the corners and stays "flatter" under hard braking and fast acceleration. No harshness at all and under normal driving conditions only slightly tighter ride which I prefer.

The drop is designed to be 1.25" The rates are about 25% stiffer than stock. Seems reasonably large, but the stock rates are real soft, so we firmed the car up a bit.

We do not notice any degradation in ride quality on our cars. There are a couple of important tips in the instructions to make sure the install goes smoothly and the ride is as it should be.

The Camaro sure looks a lot better when it's down where it should be.
