It might need to sit through a bit. Also I think theres a bit of a slope in that pic.

Wait 2 weeks then get your alignment.. that way you let the springs settle down.

my springs have my car lower in the back as well. and it said that it was a 2 drop in the front and 1.5 in the back when i bought those bad boys. very comfortable with my drop tho. does you car vibrate at acceleration from like 0 - 30? mine does i figure it may be the cv axle but i don't know.


decent drop tho and clean rolla
