Yeah, the pics I feel don't really show the change well. It's visually subtle, but I definitely notice it.
I know 1.5-2 inches isn't a lot, and maybe it's just mental, but it feels like it has changed the driving characteristics a bit. When turning or going through curves, it doesn't feel like the back end is pivoting/leaning over like it did previously. The ride is the same as the stock springs. Even though just an inch or two isn't much, maybe just that small change to a lower center of gravity of the rear can impact the handling where it doesn't feel as "top heavy" now. Or it could be that coupled with the high mile factory springs having had gotten a little more "squishy" with the age & miles.
Regardless, I'm pleased with the outcome, especially for the price and time invested.
