In my quest for absolute perfection, I changed everything out once again. I now have Bilstein 5100 struts mounted below the control arm, set at .75" lift on the spring perch. This, with McGaughy's lowering spindles is just about perfect... Later tonight, I'm going to add camber bushings to my upper control arms to get my camber back in spec and move the spring perch to the 1.26" lift point, and it should be perfect.

Ryan- why'd you switch your set up again? Not happy with the coilovers?
I'm running 2" spindles and 1" on the McG's struts and am not too happy with the setup. I was hoping coilovers were the answer, so I'm curious on your experience. Also thought about switching to 4" drop arms and going with the 5100's to get me to 3" (and hopefully get back some of my turning radius).
