That is good. If you paid a decent price and are happy with them once they are installed that is what counts.

The deed is done... For now.

The new suspension is in. She rides dreamily and curiously seems to handle more nimbly than before. But now, she's a bit high in the ass! I just measured clearance - rocker to pavement - 9.5 inches in back, 8 in front. I'm going to let the new coils settle for a couple weeks, check my tire pressure and maybe take her back. I'm none too fond of that perky butt. Seems outta character for this car, despite the stellar ride. The forward rake is a bit weird. Imperceptible to most, but not to me - the person who matters! Who knows - that coil cut may yet be in the offing...

Nice ride. Yeah I would definitely give it a month or two and let them settle in. Had that happen to another one of my cars and the back end went down a little over 1" in that period of time. Good luck.
