lol yes they are i will have to adjust them when they settle for sure. but not a big deal. and THANKS!!!! i really appreciate it i wanna do more and more and more! and your very luck yours is rear wheel! here in jersey the dealers where really avid on getting in the X's thats all people buy knowing our winters are 8 months long (seems that way) but they push those and it would have been two more months to get a journey, s, etc i could have got an XS but a lil too pricey

Sweet! I can see why you woke up late after working on it til 5 am. Slammed looks good dude! Let it settle in for a while, make some adjusts, and re-shoot at a nice location. Thanks for posting. The set up looks dead on!

WhiteLightning nailed it with "Cali low" since that ride is slammed!

Let us know if you have any steering issues with the front that low. I tried that before but my set up is flush and gave me all sorts of issues. Needed to raise it up a bit and now it handles like a dream. Have you thought about spacers for the front to flush it out some?

Im waiting for new wheels before I go flush. Right now I haven't had any issues with steering, It really hasn't affected the ride quality or handling much that I can tell other than I find myself pushing the car harder through the on and off ramps... I'll end up raising it a little sooner or later but Im lovin the dumped look right now.

Not sure that I understand your question. The only noise (a little squeeky) I get from time to time (mostly weather related) are from the rear sway bushings. Have you narrowed down your noise to the shock tower specifically? Describe the sound or record it.
