Well lowered her 2", installed new polyurethane bushings all around (Front and rear Sway), and Ingalls Camber kit up front. Handling is unbelievable. Can't wait to get my Cobra R Wheels on next weekend ;)

Handling is unbelievable.
If you lowered it via torsion twist, dont you mean worse? Like try taking the vehicle quickly around a highway off-ramp with bumps, it will feel like a boat - which is generally considered as bad handling. I drove a 2nd gen Eddie Bauer up to Vermont and back with the same setup and it was kind of scary with 4 other adults in the vehicle - the suspension was too soft.

I don't feel a difference as far as loss of handling. Then again I have brand new shocks and poly bushings all around. I cannot say I've experienced anything other than improvements in overall handling. Ride quality does not feel compromised either.
 


















Thanks guys. Look out for new pics on the Cobra R wheels coming soon!
 






looks good keep up good work
