Lowered

OK. I finally got my car out of the garage today,, she has been locked up in there wile I did the suspention rebuild. Here is a list of what I have done over the last few weeks..
Eibach Sportlines,
Spohn LCA's, and BMR relocating brackets and adj. panhard bar,,KYB GR-2s
All new poly swaybar bushings,
Poly endlinks, Poly front control arm bushings,
and the Top Down Solution Wonder bar.
Ithink thats it..
So whats you'r opinion..

Before...
As you can see I had plenty of wheel gap..





And after..

I don't typically like birds but yours is one of the nicest I've seen.

I like those foglights BTW. And the drop looks good too, since its not a huge difference. Looks nice and clean!

very glad you posted this.

My wheel gap currently looks EXACTLY like your "before" wheel gap. And that drop is perfect. I think I'm going to copy your setup exactly. :hail:

I know I need a new antenna but I dont know what to do, I guess I'll get a factoy power one,, It was put on there along time ago before I did anything to this car, just because it didn't have one at all, and I couldn't listen to the radio.
I'd like to shave it but that will have to wait for the next paint job.

Looks great.
I have almost the identical setup you have now.
New shocks are a good idea. I had no idea mine were shot when I put my springs on, it looked sweet, but my fenders were chewing up my new tires,

i went with the prokit, because i now have 17X9.5 rims with 275/40/17's and i think i would have some rubbing problems with the sportlines.
