Looks very good, what springs did you use? How much did it lower the front and back? Maybe some new wheels in the future =X haha

Mike113 · July 6th, 2009, 07:34 PM

Looks great bro. I want to lower mine sometime soon here too, just gotta get some money for springs first haha

liljojo4711 · July 6th, 2009, 07:36 PM

i cut the factory springs, 1 1/2 coils front and back with all iso's. i would say it dropped it atleast 2", maybe more. i also need to get shocks/struts so that might raise it a tad which wouldnt hurt my feelings at all

.

as for the wheels, i would love some new ones but no job = no money

AzSonicSnake · July 6th, 2009, 07:36 PM

lookin good!! hope you did some cc plates at the same time...

Lefty · July 6th, 2009, 07:37 PM

liljojo4711 · July 6th, 2009, 07:38 PM

actually no cc plates yet, that will be the first thing i get when i have the money. these tires are old and will need to be replaced soon anyway...

1FUN4RD · July 6th, 2009, 07:40 PM

How bad does it ride now?

bandity2k00 · July 6th, 2009, 07:41 PM

Shoulda only cut the rear 1 1/4, i did 1 1/2 front and 1 1/4 rear and I drag sometimes

01brknGT · July 6th, 2009, 08:04 PM

man why not just buy some lowering springs lol. And also i have heard that if you go lower than 1 1/2 you need cc plates or am i wrong. I have steeda sport springs and i dont know if i really need them or not cuz i didnt lower it as much as say HR ss springs

liljojo4711 · July 6th, 2009, 08:58 PM

i do need cc plates. and definitely need new shocks/struts. it rides very rough now.

When you cut the coil, did you beat the end so that it matched the factory setup? A big problem with cut springs is that you go from 330+ degrees of contact of the coil with the mounting surface, down to 10-20 degrees.

yuck what happened to your tail lights?

UnixHH · July 6th, 2009, 11:29 PM

painted tail lights? i would hit those with some 2000 grit and some plastX

Traidmarx · July 6th, 2009, 11:42 PM

looks good just hope you never put long tubes on the car. i cut about 2 or a lil more out of my stock springs on all 4 wheels...car looked awesome but got the LT's and the car was sitting on the headers so i had to go and buy lowering springs to raise the car back up

liljojo4711 · July 6th, 2009, 11:48 PM

lol i like the flat black tails. as for the lt's, im going to do a 5.4l swap when my engine dies (it has 191,000+) and that will probably require me to get new springs anyway
