Yeah those ricers! I don't wanna people think my SVX is part of them.
Isn't Koni supposed to only make performance shocks? Sorry I still have little knowledge on this area.

Ground Controls are about $400 and Koni's are about $680. My dad and I did the installation ourselves.

Can't remember. I just set the height to what "looks good" and made sure heights on each side were equal.

I thought you already had 5 mt? Guess I mixed that up.
I REALLY should do the suspension soon too! I'm also in need more "low".
Of course I also have a bunch of exhaust components in the corner begging me to put them them somewhere...

That seems good deal. You got it from stores? If you don't mind could you tell me what type of Koni & ground control you have? model name...etc.. Is it painfull to install those? Thanks a lot!

I think we all should make our SVX lowered... only if we are careful enough not to scrape the front bumper bottom!

I'm still waiting for my springs from Mychailo. The good thing is tho, I'll get to do an auto-X with stock suspension and be able to compare once I get the new suspension set-up.
