Default KG/MM springs

I'm sure there are a lot of owners out there with 18"s and lowered with KG/MM, can somebody please post a picture of their front wheel gap after putting on the springs??

I just installed mine, and it wasn't the effect I desired. The back was fine. I guess I'll have to wait for the springs to settle in too.

Are your KG/MM springs the SS or Race? If Race, Shamu's car has them on with 18"s.

Can you post a pic of your fronts and rears? How tall of a gap do you have in front?

You're right... from the photos it looks no different from my H&Rs which I can't stand the gap. I couldn't see the rears but the fronts look a little tall. Are those 17's or 18's?

Did you preload the suspension before you torqued the bolts? Check this thread for additional information

Bushing Preload

Also, the ride height should drop a little after the springs settle.
