Looks good. I think a little lower in the rear would be good, but you are happy with a reasonable height which in all honesty looks better than stupid slammed. and LBs are always win. Not that I'm biased.

The rear passenger side is all the way down and the rear driver's side has about half an inch left... but it's still a little lower than the passenger side... not quite sure why...:confused:

Apparently they were on back-order and the company I had ordered them through didn't know... so I got tired of waitingand went with KW's instead. I've come to the conclusion that most people nowadays would rather get bags, than spend so much for coilovers.

Good height.

And thank you! Now I'm trying to figure out why the rear right is all the way down and still not as low as the rear left... which still has around half an inch left to go down. :confused:

AH nice! you went with the V1s! How are you liking them? I loved the ride on mine...I dont think you are too off from "vortex standards" either, just bring the front down a little more and you'll be golden. :beer:

Every thread i've ever read said they had issues with rear height (not being even) on the V1s...Mine were the same way as well..I have no clue why, but if you figure it out, i'd be interested to hear what the solution was..I had the perches out on mine, so i never really cared too much..and when i had them in, i just spun them to where it was "even enough" on both sides. :thumbup:

Thanks! As long as it's common thing with them... They are quite comfortable, but a little bouncy sometimes.
