Very nice thanks. Looks to me there is plenty of ground clearance still, I'm almost convinced. Nolan those are 17"s right? I think Shultzys would be more like my car, those gta rims are 16 i beleive? So my car would be another half inch closer to the ground. well depending on the tires.

I definitely want the backend a tad lower, so I'm thinking cut some off the sportlines rear springs....just how much not sure. 1 coil?

anybody got anymore pics...Lowered formulas and TA's ?

Thanks Everyone,

Looks like it wont be as low as i thought, Now i just need to get the money together for all these parts. sportlines, bilsteins, front end arms & bushings etc..... it may be awhile.

ONe thing I'm worried about is with my new 3" exhaust i only have 1-1/4 inch seperation between the bottom of exhaust pipe and top of the rear axle.
