The percentage of Legal Knevil parts on my car went up today. I bought Marty's Naake Coil Over front kit from him, as he is putting in the new double adjustable kit, and today was my install date. I want to give a big shout out to the good counselor, who made sure things came together today so I was able to get these on my car, and to Jason Adams at Team Ford, who went above and beyond staying late to make sure it was setup the way I wanted.
Anywho, here are some pics of the install. The ride is FANTASTIC. I had a chance to thrash it around the streets of Marietta and Powder Springs before the two hour ride home, then took it out to some twisty hilly roads here in Bama. And the car is lowered EXACTLY the same height as my Eibachs. This is one of the best mods for the buck, imo.
My old Eibach's. They're yours, Dan! Tell Alicia to go get em!

The single adjustables off of Legal Knevil. Marty gets shiney new shocks and springs. Other than a few runs up the track and some spirited driving around Dallas, GA, this kit is practically new.

Shot while the Baer Rotors were off being turned (they had developed a slight vibration, but are SMOOTH as silk now).

The adjustment knob is not as easy to reach as on the rears, but you can reach it without having to lift the car. I bought the adjustment wrench with thrust bearings, and Jason was able to lower the car with the tool without a major hassle. If you're going to get this kit, I highly recommend this tool and bearings.

This shot was taken before the car was lowered back to its original Eibach height.
