Long overdue update....
Alrighty... so I installed the Hotchicks leafs last night. Total install probably 4.5 hours... not too bad working alone. Earned a black thumb for my efforts.
End result is the rear is lower about 1 inch, was 24 inches from ground to fender lip... now it's 23 inches. So the 1 inch drop is exactly as advertised.
Left front and rear hangar bolts snug and attempted a test drive last night... passenger side tire now rubs fender. I'll need to get that sorted quickly as it's pretty much rendered the car not drive-able.
A few photos:
New ride height and clearance issues.
