taiwanze7, thanx.. it all makes sense now..

gsuperR, the paint is already chipping off on the rear shocks.. but i didn't buy these for the looks..

creep, i was thinking of doing the same.. middle perch on rear, 4th from the top on front, since the h&r OE offer an even drop. i measured each perch and it's about a 5mm (.197") difference, though i was told 2mm. :dunno: also, the SP3s supposedly have a 20mm shorter body. so i guess we can lower an additional 10mm (0.394") - 30mm (1.182").
