OK - did the fronts tonight and not so bad at all. Took it for a ride to settle her in and came back and measured about a 1/2" drop so far. About what I expected with the sport suspension.

What I did notice was that my end links were very easy to move - is that normal or should they be stiff? It seems like they should be but I am not sure? I could easily move them with one finger. Time for new ones??

Also I have been pretty dubious when reading how the OEM shocks are shot after 50-70K miles. My car always rode and cornered great with no excessive bouncing or anything. Believe me - with 75K - mine were SHOT. After I got them apart I could push them in with almost no effort and they would take forever to push their way back out. Amazing this car drove that great with them that bad.

Cant wait to get the rears done and see how she handles.
