I tried to keep it civilized but my curiosity got the better of me. Re-adjusted the perches to get me closer to the ground.

How's the ride with the car dropped that much? Do you have to slow down significantly for dips in the road? Definitely looks great!!

The set-up has pre-load independent of ride height, so the ride quality does not not change with ride height adjustments. So far I haven't found the need to drive the car any differently from stock (except for speed bumps).

BC recommends 5mm of pre-load but I found it sacrificed small bump compliance. I initially ran the dampers biased hard, but while the setup brought the handling alive the ride itself was way too unforgiving and not worth it for a gt type cruiser as this. I ended up with 0 pre-load on the springs and full soft on the dampers all around and raised my front pressures from 33 to 38 psi. This got me a set-up that imo is still sportier than stock but only loses about 5-10% in ride compliance. In a nutshell it still feels very much like like the luxury car it is. I imagine on 19 inch wheels the ride quality would be even closer to stock.
