Hey guys just finished getting my sport suspension and lowering caps put on. This pic was taken right after the install. The rear has settled close to a 1/2 inch lower. Just did the alignment, brake pads, pretty happy the way she turned out.

Just curious what you did to the rear for it to settle another .5"?

He swapped a Sport suspension in. I'm sure the springs were just a tad off on the cups and just settled in after some driving.

Yeah just drove about 40 miles, seemed to just settle a bit more. To be exact it settled another .38 inches, just rounded up.

Yea, I read his title completely wrong. I read it as he installed B5 caps on his sport suspension and the rears settled a .5" lol

How's the ride compared to before?

The ride would be unchanged, as you aren't modifying the suspension at all, just dropping the spring perch 1/2" to lower the front. The springs and shocks are unaffected. Its like lowering Coilovers. The ride wont be compromised unless you're bouncing off the bump-stops of the shocks.

The ride is good, slightly stiffer since I went from regular suspension to sport suspension with the b5 caps! Overall i'm happy with the outcome!
