I should wait a week or so to settle and re-measure.

so with sport package, front only drops 0.875" rear 0.5"

I will try to take some pictures tomorrow.

oh, ride is almost like stock and handles MUCH better! even changing lane feels smooth and much less body roll.

I should take my car out for a mountain driving tomorrow to see the differences
