Not only is the car not lowered, it's actually raised a little bit because the suspension hadn't settled after putting it in the air. I'll take pictures this evening (if it doesn't rain) that show what it settled to. Looks a lot better. Overall I think I gained ~1.5-2lbs per corner, which isn't bad when you consider I went from 215 to 255 width tires.
