Haha I haven't ordered anything yet.. its not a daily driver by any means. I drive my powerstroke everyday and I was tired of it sitting like a 4x4 so I cut the springs until it sat just over the tires. That was a product of boredom and having just gone to harbor freight and buying some new tools along with a grinder and new lo pro floor jack lol. It sits right over the bumpstops and rides like damnit so I don't recommend it if u drive a lot. Its been to houston for a few meets and shows but it beats me to death... in the near future ill be purchasing the normal re-speed coilovers, tokico shocks and new sway bars like most ppl are running...

Gotcha, I just assumed since you had that sticker in there with your lowered pics that you had got something from them. My mistake, haha.

How many coils did you cut out of the springs?

dont really know. i cut like a 1/4 of a coil till it was sitting how i wanted. prolly 2 1/2 coils in all. i didnt care about ride quality tho. i did order parts from mazdatrix when i got the stickers. ive ordered door handles inside and out, alot of the weather stripping and a few odds and ends here and there. mostly pieces to restore the interior and such
