Most recent. Going 1/4 lower to get me back to the height I was when I was on 15s. I'm thinking about cutting my frame rails,pinch welds and welding them up shorter. I'd have to do the subframe too. Ideally I want the ability to adjust down to lay bumpers static
shoot it looks killer now cant wait to see it lower and ur engine bay is the cleanest ive ever seen even better than some of the crazy honda ones ive seen, i wish i had the time and money so you can work on shaving my engine bay , mine looks like it belongs to a 20 year old car lol
i think its fine the way it is now.. its a little lowered. anymore id think it would be a pain especially at my condo their are a lot of speed bumps...
So i have Gabriel Echo shocks and Monroe Sienna shocks.
The echos ride OEM when the bags are raised, but ride like crap when bottomed out.
The Sienna shocks ride better with almost no air
(my tires are too big to roll aired out)
But, they ride really bad when aired up, even less than half full.
Im not sure if theres an in between shock, OR if KYBs really ride much better with their double valving or however they work.
The only drawback about the crown vic shocks are that you won't get much lift with them. They are super short, I can only get about 2 finger wheel gap when u jack it up off the ground or aired all the way up.

My car is daily driven about as low as most bagged xb's aired out and it rides like a caddy front and back. Now pressure rates of bags vs springs vary of course, but I figured it was some good food for thought.
Ideally I'd like to go lower, but I've got to figure out some things first. Here is how I sit currently.
After throwing my coils, 10mm hub spacers, and wheels on this weekend I realized that I could go lower. I'm first going to let it settle for the week and then come up with something.
My first obstacle is finding a pair of 195/40/16 tires the s.drives are on national back order.
Here is what happens when you're dumb and don't get alignment after raising up for the winter.
Then other things include...
running camber and how much?
Rolling fenders
Getting my car on the alignment rack
subframe damage
If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

-3 camber if you need it to clear the fender.
Get an alignment with the bumper off I guess.
May have to switch tire size...
Steph had an Eastwood fender roller, not sure if it was owned or rented!

Yeah it looks like they are just as short as the Siennas. My issue is, my shocks only do their job when I have no air in the bags, I can't drive like that until I get smaller tires, even then the wheels rub the top of the fender.
I need a shock that's longer than 19.3in but shorter than ~25 or whatever inch stock shock.
Im just glad we got it installed in the crappy weather.
Looks like youre ready to do some wheel shopping.
Nlmotoring has some 16x8 + 0 wheels on clearance.
I was really low on df210's and 16's but had a decent amount of wheel gap, recently traded for some 18x10's and stance is pretty damn good but I'm almost 2" higher.
