MS suspension proper install for front

I've had my MS suspension on for a few months, and love the way it drives. Install done at my dealer and I just want to make sure they did the proper methond of not tightening the bolts before lowering the car- i.e, just want to make sure I have the 'full drop'.

My rear is not an issue, its more that sometimes the front looks perfect, then sometimes from some angles I start to second guess. ... I know I could just take the time to do it to be 100% sure, and I also know that with the MS it drops it evenly and stock the front does seem to be higher....anyhow, I thought I'd post pics of the car to see if you guys think its sitting right...

I searched for MS suspension and yielded some pics but thought post this in hopes to get pics of the angles that look "right", then the angles that look "off" for those of us with the MS suspension to compare. If any of you guys running MS can post similar angles of the front, i can compare I guess.

Here's a tight shot, seems to look correct


this also looks 'right' also in my opinion:

Here's a shot that makes me go... hmmmm is it too high?

It's spot on. You should get an alignment anyway in which case they'll have to retighten everything.

cool, its cool to see pics from similar angles of the suspension on different cars- i actually did get an alignment shortly after they installed it as the toe was off. its funny how certain days it looks lower than others/ dpending on where you're coming from, distance, etc.

or it could be me just being OCD!
