It certainly seems low when you stand next to it.

Nice.. did you flip the springs over? I had to install mine with the H&R pointing upside down..

That's the only way it would fit into the spring perches.

Oh, and by transition, I mean anytime you change the direction of the car,

be it forward, backward or side to side.. the side to side is the best part.

When you 'transition' from a left turn to a right, the car simply obeys. No sway, no

waiting for the car to respond to input.. It just goes.

No I actually got them mounted in correctly with them right side up.

Thanks for the lesson

I'm no stranger to mounting springs and I KNOW that they wouldn't go in the other way around.... maybe I'm special!

Looks ****, BTW.. Very, very hot!

One more thing to pay attention to is the level of stability increase over stock when doing high load sweeper turns on freeway flyovers. Any uncertainty that was previously felt when an expansion joint is incountered should be pretty subdued now.
