At first I was like

But then it rubbed like a son of a ***** and I had to raise it two inches...

Temporary ride height:

Currently at about 27" from ground to fender all around. Because of that the rear looks lower because of fender shapes. I had to do an emergency rubber mallet roll on the front because I bent the fender out while turning back into the parking lot. Oh well.

I'll have my fender roller back tomorrow. This weekend I'll do a good roll and pull all the way around. I want the rear to go down at least a half inch and the front to go down an inch, inch and a half. More to come!
 
Re: My '05 V - 5lug, lows loading.

so i found out last night that all of the struts were from 2-6 "clicks" away from being full hard so i just maxed them all out. the car still rides awesome.

bonus side effect: no wheel hop. just two black stripes on the road. hooray for high spring rates!

still rubbing in the front a little. hoping the alignment this afternoon fixes it (less tow out, less caster, proper camber), but otherwise i think it'll have to go up another 1/8-1/4", which i don't want to do...

IDK what it is...but I think I actually liked it better at stock ride height. Maybe it's the way the fenders and quarters are, but the car just looks enormous compared to the wheels...like there should be bigger wheel arches or something.
