"Lowered" the 4.8is

Had a local indy recalibrate the ride height today. Process went smoothly and they helped me by setting up some other options as well.

I wanted to go with a decent drop but not too extreme - didn't want to risk bottoming out the suspension, rubbing, or causing unnecessary wear.

After driving it the vehicle does feel a little 'flat' - not tight as a drum like before, and it does lean a bit more as well. Effectively a lower spring rate due to the lower psi in the system. Honestly not sure if I like the result, even though it does look really good. I'll have to put some more miles on it to decide.

So on to the pics - here it is at ride height:
