Are they settling in nicely? I think it's getting close to time for better pics (weather permitting)

Slightly different angle, which I didn't realize until I compared the before and after pics, but this is 9 days after installation.

I don't know how level the parking lot is but I'll double-check in my garage when I get home.
Looks like the springs settled in on your recent pics. Do you mind getting some new measurements? Thanks!

Yep I'll take new measurements when I get home on Saturday, I'm 2k miles from the car until then.

The front is 27" even and the back is still 26.5.

Camber seems to be different at all 4 corners...I'll have to pull the sheet to be sure but they're all somewhere between 1.3 and 2.2 neg. I'm going to take it to another shop soon to get double-checked, the closest NTB to my work is full of morons. When I told him I had just put a spring kit in, he said "a lift kit?". We were standing next to the car when he said it, I was speechless. Then he brought the shop guy out to the lobby so I could 'explain' what I'd done to modify the car.

Gosh.. this is tempting indeed!
Frank, would you mind measuring the ground clearance from the middle of car (between the front and rear wheels)? I have a rather steep driveway that my previous 37 coupe could just barely make over at the top...

Those measurements look really good. Are you scrapping on anything? The only thing I scrap on is the front engine splash guard. It sits about three inches off the ground.

I haven't scraped anything yet, even after parking garages, massive speed bumps, and northeast MA roads.

my 2 cents on this mod:

I LOVE IT! It should have been my 2nd mod, right after paddle shifters.

any updates on the alignment? did you have to install wheel spacers with them? I should be getting mine sometime this week, although will probably wait until next spring to install them...
