Where did you get your rear links from? droplinks.com or something similar?

Looks great!

Hmm, I was just wondering which ones to order online since H&R show a set for self leveling and without self leveling. I guess it doesn't matter since they're both fronts only, wonder why they differentiated them?

You get the links from Silver 5 at loweringlinks.net

Notice the height is now at 30.50" from the ground so the vehicle has dropped 1.75" from it's stock height eventhough H&R claims it is a 1.2" drop! The rear has still not been altered at this point...

Interesting that it's more of a drop. Maybe the weight of your V8 brought it down a 1/2 inch more. We shall see. I'm putting these on the 35d :D

Question about the rear links. The H&R pictures shows that they come with rear links. Why did you order another set? Just for more adjustability?

Unless they recently changed their kit contents, they only came with the springs. Maybe they finally realized that links are required as well. I had a tough time convincing them when I bought my kit and they kept telling me the self leveling will automatically lower the back. Initially they sent me the wrong springs which I had installed. Then they wouldn't believe me so I had to send pics. Finally after talking to the sales mgr they sent out the correct springs! It was a nightmare that took three months to resolve! I paid $500 to install the first incorrect set, $500 to remove them and then $500 again to install the correct set due to their mistake. They had shipped the wrong springs in the right box!!
