Got a chance to drive it on Saturday night but it was 35° and raining. So not much driving. it was only 1/4 inch lower than stock so I decided that was not low enough as I was looking for an inch. So I spent an hour and a half and lowered it another 3/4 of and inch now it is perfect.

Today it was finally dry, cold but dry. So I did some semi spirited driving on my favorite roads. All I have to say is

It is firm without being jarring. It absorbs all the bumps with no issues or bad behaviors that I have been able to detect so far. All the issues that I had with the way the rear end behaved are GONE.

This is by far the best mod you can do if you want a car that handles much much better than stock. Scott knows what he is doing with the suspension setup for sure...
Do you any updated pics showing the before and after?
