ok got em on- from ground to lowest part of fender,measureing from middle of wheel(center) 26 and a quarter front and 28 rear- this is on a alighnment rack where it is level perfectly, car rides and drives excellent, its never driven like this- now i feel safe at a spirited speed- the stock shock piston is as big as your pinki, the kw2 is the size of your thumb or a little bigger- never again will i have a stock shock- measuring from center of wheel meaning yardstick running up through middle from ground to bottom of fenders

Take some pics if possible. What did you set your settings at? Full firm or soft? How many clicks? Congrats.

Cool, cant wait to get in the shop on Friday to see where mines at. As far as the pictures go. Go to photobucket and open an account. You can upload your pics from there. I used to be TERRIBLE at posting pics but now its super easy. Takes 2 seconds to set up.:2tu:

Front height is about 24 3/4 and rear is 27 1/4....so I'm a good inch lower in front and 3/4 in the rear. My settings are full firm in rear and 6 in front.
Bluesrt---so no bouncy feel? You running stock wheels/tires still

Try to set both front and rear to the same settings. I will let you know how mine turns out tomorrow. CROSSING my fingers.

it doesnt ride like a cadi- but no horrific bouncy feel- it is stiff and on a rough road it is very slightly bouncy, but normal as it gets- handles totally differant with the kws. lowering caps on stock shocks is dangerous as hell in my opinion- unless your in a parade- yes stock wheels n tires
