Well its been lowered from stock height but raised from its decked position.

Pity we didn't get photos when it was decked. But at least the ride is now comfy and looks better than stock suspension.



Now don't go getting this thread deleted too :roll:

[insert random insult about how bad lowering your car is if you don't do it right] :D

Well, got any photos of its current ride height? Did you get the replacement shocks / springs and put them in?

How much is it lowered from standard now, do you think it looks as good as when it was really low?

Alright, the ride in my 200 with 2.25 lowered springs is fine, not harsh, I guess it depends on what springs you select.

Also shocks too plus a 200 is different to a 180 in suspension (correct me if I am wrong)

Yeh we installed them ourselves.
1st time we did it it took about 11 hours to do.
When we did it last night it took about 4-5 hours (with limited tools)
Its not too hard to do just a lengthy prcedure.

Don't have pics yet, didnt get them when the car was decked either :cry: but you should see it on the cruise coming up. If your gonna do it yourself get someone to help you.
