Just got back from the shop, a few pics before and after:

Not a huge drop by any means, I got just under 1-1/2" on the rear and right at 1" on the front. I've had Eibachs installed on previous cars and they seem to settle down another 1/4" or so after a few thousand miles, so hopefully the same holds true for these. After the install I drove it around the block a few times and had it aligned before I left, no problems at all. I've got a printout of the alignment spec sheet if anyones interested. Shop also installed the replacement bump stops. To me the best part from a visual standpoint is that the rake from the rear to front is gone, it now sits dead even front to back.

As far as driving it, granted I don't have many miles on it and the roads around here are pretty good, but if anyone is worried about the ride going to crap with the spring install - don't. To me the ride doesn't really feel any different than stock, maybe even a little less "jouncy". Pretty smooth at speed, no rubbing, no floating over bumps, actually feels a little better on the road and the lower COG helps with cornering of course. I made sure to run a couple of railroad tracks and ride a pretty bumpy road on the way home to see how it would feel, seems pretty good so far. Also did a couple of full throttle blasts from a stop and no issues. I've got 22's on order that are supposed to be in next week, ditching the run flats should make the ride a little smoother as well. I'll post some more pics when the wheels are on.

looks nice :)

On your driveway it looks dead level. Thanks for posting your install results. Looks great. Take any entrance ramp loops at 60mph yet?

Best comparison pics yet!

Thanks!

Cool. I can't wait. :)

Looking good slither! :D

Good job with the pics.

Looks good. Wish they would lower it just an inch more. Did you do the install yourself? How long did it take. I took a look at them last weekend when I took my wheels off to clean them. Didn't look too tough, but a lot of screwing around. :cool:

It does look good!! Definitely report back on those loops @ 60.:D

Your comparison pictures finally sold me. Looks great I will be ordering some soon.

looks really good. Just right

Nice touch man. Great pics. She looks more like a "sled" now, instead of a "rig." :)

Nice! can't wait to have mine installed!

Looks great. Go to a track ASAP if you can and see how your 60fts are. I'm wonder if the lowering spings help or hurt weight transfer.

Or at 80???

Beautiful Stance, your jeep looks killer!!!!!!!..............I'm going to have to get these.....I need a second job..lol

Me likey.....

I cant wait for mine to come in....!

how much did install run you?

Thanks everyone!

Haven't taken any on ramps at 60 yet (or 80) but I know of a good spot to try and flip her over! Hopefully I'll be able to report back......

Good comment about the weight transfer, not really sure if it will help or hurt either. I'm not too worried about gaining or losing a little in the 60' or 1/4, this ride is a cruiser, if I want to go fast I jump in the Civic.....;)

I had the install done at a shop that I've been going to for a while, paid $500 with the alignment. Thought about doing it myself but not having a lift/spring compressors, etc... its a PITA without the right tools. Plus it's too frigging hot down here. Cost seemed kinda high but I don't trust any other shops, this place has done all the suspension work/alignment on my cars over the years so I don't mind paying a little extra for what I know will be quality work.

Also, I took it out with a few friends in the back seat to see how it would ride, went down the same bumpy road I took before (just a little bit over the speed limit....ha ha ha) and I did get shall we say a "bump stop interface" going over a pretty large bump. Basically a loud thud from the rear end from what I suspect was the bump stops fully compressing. Not a big deal in my book but I figured some people might like to know. Doubt it would happen if going slower though and haven't had any other issues except that one time.
