I have the AOE's and I love em. They have the right blend of drop along with actual functionality.

I used to be able to fit my fist and have a little space left between my tire and car...

Now I can only fit one finger

OH and I didn't cut my bumpstops on the front springs, we just found out ur suppose to after me and treyz finished the job lol

I'd say there is minimal wheel gap. Maybe a finger, finger and half gap..depending on how big of fingers you have. Like I said, it's a very tasteful drop. here, i'll post a pic for you. I think it's the perfect blend of looks because it's not a 4x4 and it's not slammed so low you need to worry if you'll still have an underbody on your car. Not to mention the performance of the springs is pretty b.a.

Did you end up cutting them after? Do you have any recent pics of it? I just want to see how they look after settling in. So the front is supposed to be lower i'm assuming?

That does look like a nice drop. How is the ride with them? I'm assuming you have Tokico Blues up front as well? Is there any bounce or just stiff? I had a little bounce with my Megan Springs w/ Tokico's up front.

I'd say the ride with them while they were breaking in was a little miserable because I drive alot of freeway, so it was bounce..bounce...AND AWAY! until they settled in. But I'm guessing that's with all springs and such during break in period. I do have blues up front as well.

The ride is perfect to me. Obviously it's stiffer than stock ride so when you turn or go over some bumps and cracks, it's definately firm but it's not so bad that you can't live with it. If there's a big bump, you just slow down a bit and go over it. It's a car with some "sports performance" parts in mind installed on it, not an off road truck. So you should drive it with that thought of mind anyway :)
