Good stuff .. Doing some serious drag racing huh

 

Nah, I got them for stupid cheap so its what's going on the car.

 

Roger That !!

 

Pwdbychevy, I really like the look of your ride. You've put a lot of work into it and it shows.
That sunshade in back looks right at home on there too. Later.

 

ha you kidding me , min was so low it sucked to be me , i had to jack the front up then place wood under when the rear hit , then jack up the rear , then put wood there , then the front again , then jack stands at lowest settine then same for rear , then notch by notch lift and set the jack stands , then it could have ramps slid under , and now im slapping a 1000lb motor and a 4l80e in it (btw its a 6.5 diesel) oh and im not saying yours isnt low , btw love the notch back , your rear looks great

 

Yeah, he must work out sorry i just finished watching dumb and dumber.

 

lol ya , i kinda foresaw that , i might be going full frame , gonna be hard to do while staying low enough to look cool (or at least to me , btw i hate the look of a body kit , it doesent look nice on these , well maybe camaros , so i dont have that as an option , if not full frame then front section of frame replacing the subframe , either way ill be cutting the top off of the areas that would hit then fliping them and re welding them in lower , then ill spread the top into a v so it braces good , that way its still strong but also low , my suspensions so weak that even with no engine if i sit on the fender the thing almost bottoms out

 

Coilovers on, still got another 1/2in to come down after new bushings and strut mounts.

 

I like how it sits right there.

 

Haha, I'm kinda excited that I can post in this thread.

I dropped the z28 to where I want it. Well atleast the front. I'm doing the rear tomorrow.

 

Buggy...Im loving the color ..SMO?!?!?! What suspension mods & rim & tire combo are you using?

 

Thanks! It's actually Brilliant Red. It is more of a Maroon color out in the sun. I'm running Moog Springs all around. I cut .75 off a coil up front and about half a coil in the rear. I will be cutting a tad more off the rear today. The next step is strut tower brace, adj panhard bar, sub frame connectors, relocation brakcets and etc.

The wheels are TSW Indy 500's with Nexen Tires.

 

Man that looks really good! Those are 20" right? Those are new right? I thought your other? wheels were chrome?

Anyway. Before cutting your rear spring you might be able to remove in upper coil insulator, and just put a small section on heater hose directly on the coil spring to get the drop your looking for without chopping a spring.

 

Thanks BadNBlk! Yeahp they are 20" wheels. And nope, they are the same chrome wheels I have been running for a while.

I already removed the rear Isolator and wrapped it in heater hose, which did drop it about 3/4" lower. It still needs that additional 1/2-3/4" drop though. But, that's no problem since I have removed and reinstalled them so many times.Haha, I can remove, cut and reinstall the rear springs in under 10 minutes now.

 

Guess the wheels didn't look as shiny, or maybe just now that they sit about perfect in the wheel well it help pull the look together... Look great one way or another.

Post the after pics on the rear. I'm sure its gonna look killer.

 

I used the isolators from the front springs on my rears when I put my coilovers on.

 

 

Not "slammed" but as low as I am going with it.

 

Looks good! I want to see more!

 

 

Car looks awesome Buggy.

Eibachs

 

I thought this was for slammed third gens

 

nice cars

 

Right! Where's all the low?

 

Anyone else dip down into the 23" range?



This 19mm impact socket is exactly 1 1/16" wide...

 

The pictures really don't do it justice. You have such a nice car man.

 

I'm just over 26" DAMN at 23!

 

DBLTKE,

Is that with the weight jacks cranked all the way down?? Looks great !

 

Yes, in addition to 1" extended ball joints and 2" raised strut mounts. I will be getting drop spindles this winter to try and get my suspension geometry close to acceptable at this height. I'm also relocating my rear shock mounts 2" lower and will be C-notching my rear inner fender wells for axle tube clearance.

 

Damm, that will be slamed after that. Im thinking of a GC setup for my vert. I don't plan to keep it at full lock like yours but man that looks great.

 

 

I dig it.... This "Board" needs "Like" buttons

 

crap...i thought mine was pretty low in front. just at 25.5" i couldn't fathom 23"?????

 

I still need to change a few things before I can drive it regularly. I'm going to go with stiffer springs, though its still up in the air though with exactly what speings rates i should go with. I need do a slight fender pull in the rear and roll the front fenders flatter, C-notch the rear inner fenderwell, and clearance the pinch weld in the front upper fenderwell, as well as redo my rear lower shock relocation brackets. My 240sx is this low and I daily it with no problems so we'll see if I can do it with the Camaro too.

 

I am at 25" would love to go lower but roads out here are the worst and I know how to drive a lowered car

 

^^same in WV

dbltke, real nice stance!!! and wheel combo

always like seeing this thread but then realize the truth...potholes

 

Weird. The roads around here are absolute crap but I've never had issue with that. It's ingress and egress of parking lots, ramps, lots etc that makes me cringe. I scrape front end almost everywhere. :/

 

That too lol i guess most can make their arguments even in parts of Fl...enough views of this thread and ill be motivated to do a small drop

Urs is well done btw

 

It's true... the overhangs on these cars are absolutely insane... There's just SO MUCH car in front of the front wheels and behind the rear wheels...



DBLTKE , I gotta say, I hate those SS wheels in their normal silver, but in black/competition gray they look great, and I've decided just now from seeing those pictures I think they look even better than your Y2k wheels on your car. They look incredibly good and I hate black wheels.

 

how did you slam it on the 22 did you do any cutting or shaving

 

Ya before I took my engine out I was just half an inch above yours underneath but I was cheating , I had 3 broken coils on each spring , my exhaust hit when I first got in and when we went into (yes into) speed bumps , I had to get out and push up while my dad worked the trhotle and brake

 

Edit: oh I ment ground effects , your kit , your doors mainly look cool , not the way I'm going with mine but I'd love to run beside you on the highway , like a pack of wolves , I wanna do a running with the f-bodys or something sometime with some 3rd gen. .org members , maybe we could take turns being PAC leader(everyone gets a turn or something) then you could see everyone's car and take a big cross Continental road trip , when the fuel usage gets too much you can drop out and head home, I'm thinking we should use walkie talkies on a single band so we can request stops , what do you guys think , should I make a thread for this? If I do , I won't be able to participate till my cars on the road again , but I'm sure I could still help organize it , I'm thinking two laps and stops at different areas where members live , also you can request a stop near your house

 

I absolutely loved and still love the early third gens especially in red with silver; and yours is a non t-top!! Super beautiful car!!!

 

Here's my road height. At the track, I can go lower. You can barely make out the LT's.
Weight jacks & drop spindles up front, coil-overs out back.

 

only ones that are third gen slammed are db and flirtin lol :P even mine now, by new standards needs to be lower.. -___- need some wider wheels soon..

Thanks....lol those pics were taken 28yrs ago in 1986....this is what the car looked like as of last summer

 

for some of you being so low, i would worry about ripping the oil pan off. had a friend in high school rip his of 3 times. though he did have hydraulics. and it was a astro van.....oops, i think i just dated myself.

 

Wow, very few hold on to a car for that long, and it still looks great!!

 

 

A lot of wheel gap
