        Things haven't changed much in the last few days. I'm still at 1 finger gap for the front wheels, 2 finger gap for rear wheels. I'll snap a few pics as soon as I get a chance and post them up.

            well if your 55 kit is higher than his 35 kit, then there's a problem.

              He's also a VR.....I'm going to check with C1, and if in fact I do have the wrong kit, they will be changing it at their cost (especially after 3 months of waiting..)

                So things have settle a little further, and I have exactly 35mm in the front, 40 in the rear. This is a change from stock VR6 height, with the sport package. Too bad they didn't make a 25/40 kit. Been awfully busy this week, but will try to get the car washed up for some pics in the next few days.

                  I'll go measure mine today....

                  EDIT: I measured, the front hasn't settled at all! In fact is was almost a bit higher than before.....Anyhow, the back is 43mm lower, the front is only 30mm lower ( ! ), so I'm not out to lunch, it should be a bit lower.....The back settled almost a centimeter from install time....In fact now that I see what it measures out to I'm kinda pissed....I called C1, and they said come down and they'll measure it and what not, so I hope they'll take the good customer service route and replace it for me if its incorrect.....this bites...
