I've missed creativity ever since I moved into Volvo/Jaguar yawn land...

I got one more corner done last night. Passenger front still has a coil spring (for one more day I think), so it is holding up the driver's side a bit via the swaybar.
Here's a prelim pic - but I expect it to go about an inch lower in front:

If I sport 2-3 degrees negative camber and you send me a set of new 235/30/20s every six months, you'll be my hero.

Oh come on, you wont chew through them that fast with only 2 or 3 degrees of camber... 4+ and yeah probably.
Did you take any pics during the install? I'd be curious to see what the inside of your front fenders looks like. Did you just completely toss out the liners or did you hack them up and make it fit somehow?

I'll get pics of my modding tonight though. I just wanted to get it done yesterday and hit a few roadblocks preventing me from taking pics.

Got the front to come down another 1/2". The front bumper cover may be the only thing holding it up now (the tire rests on it at full pancake. Front reminds me of when I had H&R coilovers on my Golf - stiff. Not bouncey, but "riding on air" is putting it a bit too kindly. The stiffness works out though because it can drive with fronts tucked (about 1/2" higher than pics below) and not rub.

Getting used to it, but I like it. Autoloc controller presets tend to get about 3 of 4 corners right on first try - within 10 PSI.
