Y'know this is exactly what I did and there are no ill effects and the look is great. No problem. You can adjust the height of the LAD anytime. I used Dinan springs which are a little stiffer than the rears but the handling is fine, very nice turn in and flat in the corners (I have the sway bars too).

Good luck

Since I switched over the the 18 M-Parallel replicas, the stance is a little weird. I'm thinking of putting some H&Rs in the front only (1.25 inch lowering)to correct the stance and leaving the LAD alone and the original springs in back. First, will this mess up my handling? Second, are there any other reasons for concern? Thanks to all of you for your help. You have a great board here.
