Finally got the car ready for spring!!

Check it out.. So far, I've spent more than I make on wheels/tires, lowering 2 inches, 36mm swaybar, 27mm swaybar, and a 91 TA spoiler (2 actually, one was too bad to fix)... Here she is..

I got some small Trans Am decals on there, from eBay.. Nothing too crazy..

The springs are from eBay aswell, I think they were called Sportline 1 3/4" drop springs... Ended up 2" drop, now I need to get rid of my 4" deep transmission pan..
