Uh, can't email you...your email link is not live.
Send me email and I'll shoot you some info back, but basically the group price spec'd by Dolphin / S / [TWC] is pretty close.

Thanks. Tell that to my wife!
Heh. I think she'll get used to it. Actually, I'm not certain she would have known the difference if I hadn't dragged her out to look at it! My daughter did not even notice it. She is the acid test on unusual attributes. While taking the new Focus SVT out for a spin last weekend, she said this from the back seat: "Hmmm. Did you notice that the dash board looks, ummm, uneven. It looks lopsided." Very astute as to aesthtics for a nine-year-old. The dash in that car has kindly been referred to as "asymmetrical" in the car press. Heh. Lopsided. It's GREAT for the driver, but not so tasteful as the S4. Another quote from my daughter on the way to school today: "I like the Audi seven times more than the Ford." How she came to that specific calculation, I'm not certain.

It was a compromise...
I actually asked for a ride height of 25-3/4 inches (having just seen the drop on sr8ted's Avant the week before...and figuring it would settle another 1/2 inch). John, the service scheduler at Speedware (and a SCCA Porsche driver), suggested 25 the week before. I got a call from the shop in the early afternoon while the install was in-process. They wanted me to come down to the shop to the check the car while it was sitting on the rack at 25-1/4. They thought 25-3/4 would be too tall. I left it to them, and so, that's how it got to 25-1/4. I think it turned out well. Hopefully, it won't drop much lower on its own!
