Well I installed my springs saturday morning. Took me and my friend about 2.5 hours start to finish. That included mounting and balanceing 2 tires, and re threading the front left strut, which I/my friend's dad managed to strip. Total lowering was about 3 inches w/ the springs and 205/40 nitto tires.
Stance looks awesome. I would guess there to be about 4 inches total ground clearance. Rear camber is noticable, and I plan on slotting the rear lower control arms soon to help correct that.
I didnt have the cash for struts when I ordered the springs, and it proved to cause problems today. With the incressed stiffness of the INtrax SS srprings, one of the rear struts decided to piss its oil all over the place. I ordered rear KYB adjustables today, and they should be on by the end of the week.
Handling was great when we tested it saturday. Body roll was minimal, and turn in under breaking resulted in almost zero understeer. I can't get over how balanced the 240 chassis really is. I'll let every one know how the new adjustable KYBs help. Im expecting a 100% inprovment in the rear. Its horrible with stock struts !
