Default Lifted vette

Finally decided to replace my F45 shocks with Bilsteins so she's on the lift. Going to make my own resistors. One question I have is, with the resistors in place, is the ride height required? Can they be removed and tricked like the resistors for the mag ride shocks? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Any particular reason you choose white text on a white background? Seems sub-optimal.

Well I wonder why that happened. I went back into that post and changed the color of the font.

^ The text was still showing up in white so I changed the text color to black for ease of reading.
