Talking K & B Springs INSATALLED BUT???

Well I finally got my K&B drop springs installed. I also had my water pump replaced too.

Once I replaced the springs I immediately took it for a drive. It been 24 hours and my smile hasn't still gone off my face. Just driving on the interstate is like flying. When the road gets windy its something else the braking response(I have no idea how ) is instant.

However, I thought my car was sagging a bit to the right because of my factory springs. After I installed the K&B's I still see a small sag to the right. The wheel gap on the drivers side is a bit lower.I would say like 3mm-4mm.

Is this common on SVX. Are there any bushing that might be bad?

Any suggestions?

I have not noticed any sag on mine. Could you link me to these springs you have? I have not heard of them before.

I have measured strut mounts that have collapsed over .25". Something to check.
