Today was like XMas!! Well I picked up my Speed3 at around 3pm, then went straight home to go pick up the Jeep to go pick up our 42" HDTV Plasma we just bought then eat dinner and get ready for work. Anyways... didn't have time to take pics which sucks. <_< The drop is so perfect IMO. The front tire sits flush with the fender, not tucked. The rear tire has about a 3/4 gap. So there is a slight raked stance to the car which i think looks sweet with our bulging hood. The ride is a little bit softer compared to stock but NO bodyroll whatsoever. Its like a turboed Go Kart on corners!

You are so in trouble Jimmy if you ever take me up on my offer for a "spirited drive" in the foothills... you have no chance whatsoever. :P

PICS tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I promise.

Ok, here's some pics finally... Not the best quality but you get the idea on the drop. I figure in about a week the Springs will settle and will be a little lower.

Thanks everyone. Can't wait for you guys to check it out in person. Ride is a little softer than stock and the handling/cornering is amazing.
