FX2 Lowering / Towing
Well, got the wheels on finally; but I'm not sure I'm happy with it!
I have both offsets (30 rear / 44 front), but it looks like they stick out (front and rear). I can only see pics, so not totally sure.
The tire guy said the 44s are on the front and 30s on the rear! I guess if the 44s were on the rear, they'd be tucked; so I guess it's right. I'm definitely on the fence though and leaning toward not caring for them!!
It's being lowered now and might actually be done today, so I'll wait and see what happens. I may end up putting the "stockers" back on if I don't like it and there will be a set of Saleens, caps, lugs & tires for sale!

Here she is, finally done!!

DJM 2/5 with rear shocks and Belltech drop struts to finish it up. I'm really diggin' the Saleens NOW that it's lowered!!
I'll get a face-to-face next week, coming home from Iraq for Christmas.

That looks sick!! What can I do to get mine down some more? I have the Eibach from the factory, but it doesn't have the shackles, so that's only another inch and from the looks to me, it needs about 1 inch in the front and about 2-3 in the rear. Will the belltech struts and shocks work, or should I go with the Eibach ones? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mine was a 5" drop in the rear and is fine with the stock wheels, but is too much with the Saleens. I'm looking to trade my two 30mm offset Saleens for 44mm and if I keep the Saleens I'll be raising it an inch all around.
The Belltech drop struts will be your best bet for the front because you can "adjust" to the height you want from -3" to +1" without any extra parts. The back may be a little tougher, but shackles might get you where you want to be.
