LOL na i set it that low to show how low I CAN GO.... i love it that low BUT ya i wont keep it that low. the 2nd to last picture is how it sits now.

i lifted the perches to as high as they could for now as shown in the 2nd to last picture.
tho as soon as i get my skunk2 camber kits then ill lower it alittle more after i get them instaled. i thought about driving on them that low BUT i know the toe would be really bad... at least now its not to much.... i hope to get them fast! im not to worried about driving with a minor drop with bad toe since its not horible toe.




the front wont be lowered to much more than my old Stech springs where siting BUT the rear i definatly want lower than before! i want it to tuck alittle tire....

something like this... i believe thats as low as the perches will sit for the rear. just have to ensure that my rolled fender lips are rolled enough to have camber in specs... or if i have to run alittle negative camber to clear... im ok with alittle camber i just dont want a whole lot......
personaly i hope i rolled the fender lips enough! i dont feel like buying the tool again to redue it!
but the front i cannt go any lower because of the fender itself. even if i removed the inner fender liners it will still catch hard if i turn to much. and i dont want to risk that!

also alittle playing with the struts settings and so far ill stick with SOFTEST setting for daily driving.... on a smooth road the stiff setting is fine but definatly NOT for a ruff road!

ya definatly SLOW.LOL ive thought about a 5speed swap BUT at times i like my auto so i think ill keep it a automatic. having the old 94 5speed was fun but in traffic it was more of a PITA!
its funny how much power a automatic tranny can steal!

i did want a air suspension. BUT after thinking about it all cost and trouble free i decided with adjustable coilovers for my daily driver!

tho now i gotta go buy some lumber to build my own ramp to get ready for the alignment rack again.... my last one verly cleared!

Nothing wrong with making a show car. That black is done perfectly on that car, you think you might get another project car for performance?
