Just the springs for now, i also removed the rubber spring isolators.

I suppose before she ever sees the road again (been sitting in the pole barn for about 3 years now while im at college) it'll get an adjustable panhard bar and lower control arm relocation brackets.

Looks really good. Guaranteed you will put those spring isolators back in when you start driving it again. The ride is horrible without them.

Re: Just dropped my GTA

Looks great with the sportlines in it. I also agree that you will want to put those insolators back in (or new ones). I havent dropped my car personally, but my truck (S10) has 2 in. drop springs in the front and the ride was much better with alot less pings and pops from underneith after I made and put insolators back in it.

I know what your saying about being at college and having the car stashed, my formula and nova are on year 2

. Good thing the S10 has a Tbi vortec headed 331 sbc in it

Re: Just dropped my GTA

Blah, it's not a luxury car, I can deal with a rough ride, it's going to ride rough being lowered anyways, and it never rode that great to begin with ; )
