    They sent the mounts with the bigger drop in the mail right away, very pleased with their service and them trying to make it right.

    I had to unbolt everything on top but the coilovers didn't have to come out. Here is the old one and the new one:

    The car sits really nice now, pretty much right where I want it.

    I agree. :thumbs2: That is neat the way they raised the shock to lower the stance.

    That is a mean looking machine. I can only dream of my beige/orange/white Mav looking and performing like that. Seriously cool car :thumbs2:
