Went faily easily, took us about two hrs. Car still rides great, and handles much better. I am extremely happy with the setup.

Looks good.

 

[Dern Humpus]

everytime I look at it I am amazed by how perfect the ride height is.

 

[MarkOfDeath]

what brand

 

[Dern Humpus]

strutmasters, I believe they are the only company that offers a lowered version.

 

[JoeyLincolnMK8]

arnott has a lowering spring system as does American-Air!

 

[fossten]

Way to go, buddy! :W to the club that shall never wear out their suspensions!

 

[NYC LS8]

Looks good. That wouldn't last a day around here with these asteroid-sized pot holes we have lol

Call me lucky then, I guess.

On a side note, my rear bags are still good if someone wants to make an offer for them.

 

[PioneerCrazed]

Wow! That looks slammed... I like it, good job.

 

[Dern Humpus]

Yeah, any lower would be too low, but any higher just wouldnt be perfect.

 

[PioneerCrazed]

:I How much did you pay if you don't mind?

Thanks

Mine has coil springs and its a little bit lower than that and mine was $460 shipped

 

[MarkOfDeath]

his will sink a little lower in a day or two, the new springs have to settle

 

[k9t8m]

Looks good, now wash it.

 

[Dern Humpus]

I wanted to wash it today, then I thought twice and figured itd look like that again within 24 hrs. The kit was 550 shipped. I honestly dont think it is going to settle out any more, at least I hope not. Ive never experienced springs settling after install.

 

[MarkOfDeath]

people say they do, i really dont know

 

[mespock]

Looks nice.... Just be careful over the pot holes and going in and out of driveways...

 

[BlackIceLSC]

I wont be a post-hijacker....but INHO, the 1.5" lowered verson on a Mark VIII looks PERFECT!

see my ride with the same kit, only from American Air. PERFECT ride height, perfect ride. Just look out for dead animals that litter the freeways. they can cause some nasty undercarriage "remains"

those who have seen the conversion kit page on american air's website will recognize my picture.

I dont know if you used my HOW TO page, but for anyone else who needs it, HERE IT IS

 

[KainDTE]

It will settle down and lower about another 0.25-0.5" mine looked the same when i first installed it then after a couple days it was even more perfect

 

[my95mark8]

How many miles on the front bags, dern?
Are they the originals?

 

[Dern Humpus]

The fronts are shot. The rears have 100k.

 

[JC1994]

Mine settled after about 500 miles.

 

[my95mark8]

Oh well... thanks anyways.
Nice ride, btw.
