I would be willing to bet that the MPG difference between the two is negliable at best. These do look nice and if you lilke the look, ride, and price, grab them.

Just got mine in the mail today, did you do the install yourself? This will be the heaviest car I have lowered and I am wondering if it is time to get a spring compressor or if I can get by without one.

Approximately 4.5 inches at the tunnel brace.At the front door jamb under the car is another low spot also 4.5 inches.I have a custom cat back right at the cat connection it is 4 inches so I'm not sure if it is the same stock.I hope that helps.

Thanks, It's like 20$ for a set of compressors so I think for that little bit of money I will go with the added safety.

Must be nice to have a best friend as a Sergeant, I'm jelous.

I just tinted my windows (%5) in the 2 windows up front and I'm constantly worried about the B&W's stopping me.

But I so want to do that to my break lights anyway and take the risk.
