^it's hard to say that it's down even an inch. but i haven't been in a stock S2k for so long that i don't know what stock feels like. My 05 is on coilovers with 10k springs. and the sebring car in the pics had Skunk2 springs on the stock shocks before the spoons. they were super harsh and that's why i went to the spoons. a buddy's car is on spoons and it's over an inch lower than these.

thanks for the help guys.

Kent -

Looks a bit high, as the drop should be about 1 inch.
Make sure to preload everything when you tighten up the suspension. You should put a jack under the arm and jack up on it until the arm is compressed and just starts to raise the car. Then you tighten everything up, and the car is nicely loaded and will sit down for a tight ride. Many people just tighten up everything and forget to do this and the handling gets messed up and the ride height is too high. I'm on Spoon progressive springs.
