Dropped with dropzones on 18" pics before repaint.

I just thought I'd post thes for people wondering about dropzones and 18's The springs are dropzones 1.75 I cut a coil off the rear and put the rear insulators in the front because it was stupid low and didn't look good.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

the red brake drums are a little out of place but the rest of the car looks pretty decent. what color are you going with? are you sticking with the early Z nose?

Re: Dropped with dropzones on 18" pics before repaint.

funny thing, i am also in the process of cutting my rears to match the front. also on 18's.

it doesnt make sense to me how they are so mismatched like that. i started with half a coil cut in back and just cut another half today but didnt get a chance to take it out to settle them.

i like your idea of putting the rear isolators up front. though i think im going to match the rear to the front as is. i have a v6 with fiberglass hood so mine might sit a little higher than yours did but i like how low the front is now.

heres how low the front is. rears are still stock in this picture

I have a 92 front end with the ground effects and the calipers are actually orange they matched my last paint job I never got around to painting them. Thanks for the compliment though.

Udamon your probably going to have to cut a coil and a half thats what I started to do but I just decided to pull the front up a hair with the isolators.
