Default Get low....

Well my buddy came up tonight and helped me finish the job. My car is now officially lowered and boy does it look sweet! I'd post some pictures of it but we didn't finish til about 3am so it was dark out and hard to take any good pictures. Will get some in a day or two hopefully to post after I wash the car. I think the car looks more aggresive now that its lower. We also took out that blasted airbox which I hated so much and threw my K&N filter on the end of the TB. We were going to fab up a cold air, but we didn't have the parts and not much is open at 3am. But its better than having the air box in the way, it definitely breathes better now. But I am definitely satisfied with how she looks now. I am thinking that next I may get a front and rear sway bar kit to make it corner like a champion. The springs took some of the body roll out, but it could be greatly improved with upgraded sway bars.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley17.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

Top one is photoshopped (which is basically what it looks like now)
Bottom is before dropping

But like I said, I'll get some real pictures of it up soon as possible.

Yeah. I was checking and realized now that its lowered I can't drive it up the ramps I have for changing oil/working on car/etc because the front bumper will scrape on the ramps. LOL. Now I will have to jack the car up instead and put jackstands. The price I pay. HAHA. No complaints from me, I love the new look and ride.

Well I finished the job completely now. I took her in for an alignment just to make sure I didn't knock anything out of whack when I put the springs on. That way I don't wear my tires out too fast, now I only need to worry about smoking them which is something I can control.[sm=smiley15.gif][sm=lol.gif] She definitely turns some heads now.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Just got my Pro-kit's on today. They aligned the front at -.5 for camber was the most they could do without an adjustment kit, so it looks a little diff now. Ride is wicked and a little bumpy on our old paved county roads lol. Should have some pics up at www.cardomain.com/memberpage/631707
