Well what I'm saying is when I get the camber/caster plates I plan on putting my car on the rack at work to re-align it since I'll be able to get the camber even from side to side (right now there's a half-degree difference (which is the closest I could get it with the stock adjustment after I got t-boned) from side to side), so I figure since I'll do an alignment anyway, I might as well lower the car an inch and a half or so and get it to look a little better. The car will be aligned, it's just that I'll be shortening the life of the shocks lol... but yeah, knowing I'm going to wear out parts should help motivate me to save up the money for the suspension lol

you can have photobucket auto-resize every pic you upload, fyi. (you select the option right before selecting the files to upload). saves some time.

I usually play with the brightness and contrast to get the image a little clearer for night shots anyway, so it's just a matter of resizing them in gimp before I play with them.

Anyway I got un-lazy, and here's the best ones from the shoot. I really need a tripod and a better camera =/

And of course, the one that was tweaked a little to give it a lower stance

So sexy *drools*



Anyway, the boots are still listed as "In production". Hopefully they'll be finished and shipped out soon; I want them in my car like last week. Also, it's looking like I'll have the camber/caster plates ordered around the end of the first week of September. It'll probably be the last mod for a month or two until I get some other things taken care of financially, but at least it'll allow me to lower the car. Like I said, I'll be cutting around a coil and a half off the springs, front and back, then aligning the car (-1.5 degrees camber, as much caster as possible, and zero toe). I'm figuring I'll have the rest of the suspension taken care of by December, but we'll see how I am financially.

haha, it's cool. I'll get some daylight pics of it and send 'em to you sometime this week. I guess that means the car needs washed, doesn't it?

Yeah you do need a new sig. Your current one is old and boring.

That's actually pretty badass... might have to use it for a while

Also, the shift boot, e-brake boot, and armrest cover all shipped today; estimated date of delivery is the 3rd, but everything's shipping from Poland, so there's no tracking number for me. Yeah, f*cking Poland. While all you guys are getting your genuine leather from places in the states, I'm ballin' enough to get my Italian calfskin leather from Europe
