I've got the SL's on SAM with lower spring + the rears have been cut too, as at the time didn't realise they were SL's :rolleyes: But as a result its locked the rear right up and makes for great handling, but to be honest I wouldn't recomend it as the stress on the rear components must be horrendous :hidesbehi and as a result plan to change my set-up in the very near future :shifty:

Wouldn't the steering and wheel geometries become misalligned if you change the ride height when upgrading suspension components?

[QUOTE=nikgallagher]Wouldn't the steering and wheel geometries become misalligned if you change the ride height when upgrading suspension components?[/QUOTE] No, but you can end up with more camber and thus require realignment depending on how low and how much you get. But as a rule no geometery should need be adjusted.
