Thanks to Ramon at Niguel Motors for getting my new Bilstein's installed yesterday. Car feels great. Lower perch looks good. Based on some of the postings on here I was hesitant, but so far, drove it around all day today, no issues. No strange clunking noises, my kidneys feel fine. :tongue: Compared to 18 year old OEM shocks, the car is a little stiffer but not much. The main difference is the car feeling more planted, during braking, turning, and accelerating the car dives/rolls less. Very nice. Set up is just Bilstein's with stock springs in case anyone was wondering. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
Just wondering what your car ride height is like on the lower perch and what size of tires are you running.
I have 235/275-17/18 on the upper perch and would like to be on the lower perch but the gap between upper and lower is like 7/8" and it may be too low for street.
 
Tires are the basic 17's all around. 215/40/17 front and 255/40/17 rear. Drop of the perch is about an inch like you mentioned or close to it, but because its brand new its only dropped a little over a half inch after one day. If it's anything like the suspension on my cousins car, it should drop a little more over time. Hard to say with the 235 you got though...im sure other peeps on here with bigger tires might be able to chime in.
