Lowered moar!

OK!

It's down another 1/3 to 1/2 inch.

The springs are obviously stiffer. But with both sway bars removed now, the ride is surprisingly not bad. It could be lowered even more (!) and not be harsh at all.

There's still way less body roll than a stock 2014/15 Mirage. (Admittedly, that's a low bar!)

And since I had the front wheels off, I re-greased the caliper pins/sliders. Anybody know if I can get those caliper springs for this car?
