Are you having it done, or doing it yourself? Remember to consider getting an alignment in about a week or so after the car is lowered.

You should wait a couple of weeks on the alignment. Takes time for the
springs to settle.

OOOH, way to go, VG!

Slam that puppy, girl! Now, do remember the good alignment advice posted above. And, heaven help you if you don't post any pics for us to drool over. Rock on, VG. Enjoy.

Best Wishes,
