Updating/condensing-
Drop/suspension refresh complete. In the front are new upper and lower control arms with bushings and ball joints, new shorter sway bar end links, McGaughy spindles and Belltech SP struts. In the rear are stock coils of unknown origin (although I now have an idea- will update if I can confirm), Belltech SP shocks, DJM lower arm relocators, DJM offset sway bar endlinks, and Spohn panhard. Results are a 3.25" front, 4" rear drop. Resistors on all four corners to delete AutoRide.

The RST wheels were a bit of an impulse due to the price. They're not my first choice, but they were (mostly) black, had decent tires, TPMS sensors, lug nuts and they were a few miles from my house. Living where I do, nobody would have an RST, much less a modded one. So I considered it fate. Plus there's a little coolness factor having wheels from a factory performance model. They'll do for now.
I'm beat. The alignment feels plenty fine enough to get it to a shop for a proper alignment so I'm gonna tap out.
Future plans are to lengthen new stock rear lower control arms to center the axle and build or buy adjustable rear upper control arms to complement the extended lowers and dial in the pinion angle. I also want to install AirLift bags in the coils and connect them to the Auto Level Control compressor. Maybe after the first of next year...
