    Finally got my Epic Engineering springs and KYB Exel-G struts installed on the Saabaru last night. Here are some before and after pics:

    Overall, I'm very satisfied with the drop. It is the perfect height for a DD and hardly any saggy butt. The springs are new, so they may settle a bit more...even though Epic claims they do not settle.

    The Exel-G struts on the other hand...the verdict is still out on those. The ride seems a bit harsh, but they are brand new, so perhaps they will break in a bit.

    Have these settled more? Any more insight on the excels?

    Well those really weren't the best "after" pics.

    Here is a slightly better pic. I'm still expecting them to settle more over the next month or two.

    Oh, and for the struts, they just seem harsh...unless I'm riding on the bumpstops or hitting them. If the struts don't soften up, I'll probably trim the bump stops. The Exel-g's have gotten pretty mixed reviews though.

    Much better pic. Good height now.
