Imola, that is "Sweet"!!! You have gotta get some running boards. With that lowered look, the boards will set it off.........Phil

Ride Quality

Was your ride quality impacted adversely after you got it lowered?

Eh I don't know how practical this lowering is in real life, but it certainly looks good.

Id actually say yes there is a bit of a diff. Cuz the front dips down by a lot i think, the rear does not as much it almost seems the same. But by the front dipping down a lot it takes away some of the body roll in my opinion, it like hugs the corner wit the front very well

hey..i would mount that amp in a better place for safety purposes...i do car systems....and i seen alotta burnt carpet...besides that...avoid putting it in the sub compartment to the corner...that may make it overheat and youll look embarrassed when that amp shuts off to cool down while ur shuttin someone down with that W7...i would suggest fastening it to the box....and hiding the wires

Cost???

How much did the dealer charge to lower? This was through the DIS right?

I think I have the exact same setup as you. JL 12W7 with the JL 1000W amp. My sub is sitting in the exact same place as yours, but I had the amp installed in the compartment on the right where the stock sub is. They removed the stock sub, and the length of the amp fits perfectly in there. I don't have a cap tho, and haven't had any problems powering the amp without one. What is that other little piece you have in the bottom right corner of the pic?

I'm interested also. What do we have and how's it hooked up??

I love the lowered look! Any changes in drive comfort?

I take it you needed a bit more umff with the sound system. I'm a bit dissapointed with my DSP system. Lacks dynamics!!!

Congrats on your X!
