**** I would love to way 196. Any guesses at my weight ? LOL I'm 5' 9" let the fun begin.

 

220??

 

216?

 

Leo thanks for the warning on the armrest.I'm gonna scratch this off my list of future mods. Looking forward to see the front springs installed. Be careful with the front spoiler..Its almost a given that with a drop and a spoiler that you'll be bottoming out..last car show(Roush one) that Tom and I and other TMSers were in, one of the judges told me one thing they actually took points off for was a scuffed up spoiler on the bottom. Couldn't believe it Anyways get those pics up ASAP

 

Armrest
No problem I feel it's my duty to give an honest opinion about any mods I buy. Like I said this is one I'd only recommend if you have nothing better to spend your money on. BTW- I'm bringing my stock armrest so we can do a side by side shot for comparison.

Chin Spoiler/Lowering
Trust me I'll be very careful since after all worrying about the chin spoiler clearance is the reason I kept putting this mod off. Don't worry Bill and Kevin will take plenty of pics I'm sure. Once they upload them I'll be sure to post.

Ultralite Review
Even though I've only installed the rears and only drove today for about 10 miles I have to say I didn't notice a difference in ride quality. To be honest other than the rear obviously being lower I couldn't tell the difference. I hope with the fronts in I'll be saying the same thing. I'll make sure to post an update after my drive back from LA tomorrow with front and rears installed.

 

The rear springs (on stock and lowered) have such low spring rates that you probably wouldn't feel a difference in ride quality. The front ones is where you'll see the difference. The Ulta-Lites are definitely the closest to the stock ride, but there is also definitely a difference.

It won't be like having a low-rider or Eibach Sports springs, but you will feel the road more. On the other hand, you won't sway as much through corners, the nose won't lift as much during initial acceleration (and the rear end won't squat as much)... and the nose won't dive as much during hard braking. The good more than out weighs the bad.

And I have never hit my chin spoiler - not even once.

 

You just jinxed yourself, Tom.

I believe Leo is now in the 'Modified Class' at any car show that uses the points system. Looks like I'll have some competition at the upcoming Knotts Berry Farm show.
Bring it on, Leo. Bring it on.

 

Nah... I'm way too careful. And it's really not all that low.

 

That's true, but I can't make it up the Rhino Ramps any longer without rigging up some 'pre-ramps' (aka. 2x4's).

 

Why the hell are you posting at 4am Bill, don't you sleep
Looking for some pics Leo.
Bill, is that a challenge being issued to Leo?

BTW, I weight 225.

 

Leo, which arm rest pad did you get?

 

We just got finished tinting the rear window. The hard part was having to cut rectangles out of the tint to go around the connections for the defroster.

I was coughing a bit, took some medicine and decided to stay up a little while. So, decided to check was was up on TMS.

Leo has all the pics, I'm sure he'll post some later tonight. I'll post a couple pics on the next post of us with a special guest, Brian (Habu)!

Yeah, I'll challenge Leo at the next show. But hey, as long as the TMS'rs finish top 3, I'm happy!

225?? Tom, give Daryl some tips.



Looks great, Tom! Sure looks dark out back, hopefully not too dark when backing up at night.

 

3 Mustangs at Kevin's.




The 3 Stooges... Leo, Bill and Brian.

 

Just watch your carbs. 100 carbs for 100 days = lose 30 pounds. There's your 195, Daryl!

It's 20% like the rest. If I could get used to the double layer of Limo tint on my '84 Olds Cutlass Supreme, this should be no problem! If I took the picture lower, you would see right through the front window (at least you do in person).

 

It's the one that come on 07's with the PIUP package. I'll post a pic as soon as I upload them on to my photobucket.

 

Here's pics of the car with the ultralites in.

I'll have full reviews tomorrow.

Thanks to Bill and Kevin for all the help today. Brian it was fun hanging out. Bill please tell Hector thanks for the spring compressor.

 

Much better! How was the 100 mile ride home?

 

Wouldn't know as I won't be leaving for atleast another 30min or so.

 

I see.... well, give a short report when you get home before the full report tomorrow.
