Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

Very nice Z28! The '91-'92 Z28's are getting harder to find in good condition now. What size tires are you running in the back? Did you have to roll the fenders a little to get those to fit and not rub? How much did you lower it?

The rear tires are 275/30/20 and yes the fenders were rolled a bit. Needs more though.

As far as how much its lowered - all the way. Shes on air ride and theyre all the way aired out in the pics. Again the rear fenders need a tad more flare as they sit on the tires currently.

That's cool. I haven't seen an air bagged thirdgen other than in car magazines. How well does it ride?

Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

Not bad actually. If i set the psi too high it does get a bit bouncy but ive got it dialed in where i like it. Takes corners way better than stock.

Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

That's good to know. I was thinking that the ride would be kind of bouncy on air just like a non-bagged car with high spring rates an shocks that aren't able to keep up with the rebound.

Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

Not saying I'm disappointed, but from the thread title I assumed there would be a girl in the pictures.

Cool car - must be a blast to drive!

Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

Thanks guys! I always appreciate the kind words.
The car is named after Jessica Rabbit. Id post pics of her too but im sure you can Google them yourself just as easy. I do have a jessica rabbit sticker on my tach though. Lol

@77 TA man
Not factory stripes. My own design. Its mostly vinyl. I was trying to come up with an inexpensive way to cover the bad paint from removing the door mouldings. I cant afford a whole paint job (yet) and i refuse to plastidip the car so i played with photshop for a while and came up with this design.

Re: A few new pics of my Z28 - Jessica

I feel you on that one. A high quality paint job = a lot of cash! I'd like to repaint my car too but other things in life always seen to take money away from that. Ha ha I'm sure most of us on here can relate to that issue. That stripe is unique and makes your car stand out.
