Hapyspaz: A lot of the 6" kits out there are only about 4" with no crank, you crank for the other two inches. That gives you the option to increase if you feel the need.

What about keys? What kind of height do I get out of a set of keys? If I could get 2", I can get 2" rear springs, crank the bars to match height?

I dunno, my girl is like 5'2" and already has a hard time getting to the side step, I think 4" would force me to drive the Acura everywhere when we ride together....

you would not need to get a set of keys you should be able to max out height with the stock ones

Don't crank your stock ones to the max unless you plan on replacing your CV's and ball joints and etc. It will apply added stress and eat them up, as well as giving you a stiffer ride. If you do crank them, I would probably get an alignment as well.

Dinna know about this thread when I posted my pix in another thread. At the risk of boring some of you who've already seen it, here are the same two pix.

I did not know that but it is important to keep that in mind. And what school logo is that under your name?

I never said that i was going to lower mine. if i wanted a lowered one i would buy a 2wd one and keep the one i have now so the best of both worlds

The wear/break down of CV, Ball joints, ect is all due with time. They wear out faster when altered. I've had my bars maxed out and it's been like this for a year while pushing around 37" tires. I've only run into one issue where i had to replace a CV boot. Ball joints are still doing fine. CV shaft is still fine. I didn't notice the ride get worse. You do need to get an alignment as soon you mess around with the bars.
