Thanks. And yes its cupped lower arms and 3" drop spindles. It lays the lower control arms on the ground lol. But i have some tubular upper and lower air ride tech arms that will be going on when i get the dropmember that i will probably be pulling the trigger to purchase this week :D

Killer! I just got my version 4 dropmember back from the powdercoater. It looks ten times better in person than it does in the pic's. I think you'll be more than satisfied.

Because it doesn't lay out flat on the ground lol. That pic makes it look a little lower in the front than it really is because the street is uneven haha. It sits about 3"s higher in the front than the back which the dropmember will fix along with a few other issues i am having...

haha yup, and thanks. sucks i wont actually be home for christmas or new years... oh well. but anyways, i still gotta get a bunch more stuff for it as well. i got a pretty good pile of parts building up for it now but hardly ever any time to install stuff. so it will either take a little while, or pay a buddy to install some of it for me lol.
