Picking the car up at noon on my lunch break..I will try and take a quick picture and post it. Should be 1.8" drop in the front and 1.9" in the back.

 

can't wait to see it

 

OK

the car looks and feel perfect...like a sports car. In the pics, I am on a slanted hill...so the back looks lower than it really is and the front higher. When level, it sits more on the nose. I didn't have much time to take the pictures.

Driving Impressions-

Incredible. Handles like it is on rails. Take offs are smooth (help from LCA's) and cornering is mind boggling. I took a right turn at 45-50mph and the back end stayed planted acclerating out of it. The ride is firm...like a sports car...but not obnoxious. the wheel well gap is perfect now. I have 6 speed bumps to go through (the really wide kind) to get to my house....bottomed out on the first one (too fast). The others, I went slow over and was fine.


now for the pics...

Very nice, I like it. Did you have to get an adjustable pan bar for the rear or have any camber issues on the front?

that looks great! I love your car, i think all the body kits are way too much, heck i think the spoiler is too much!

 

They adjusted the camber by slotting something. I guess camber plates have specific settings....where as, if you slot (forgot what), you can fine tune it. They didn't have to align it much....drives straight as an arrow.


thanks guys

 

The dog peeing in the reflection is classic!

 

Well I think I'm sold.

 

The ride height looks perfect BTW.

 

Looks, great! I tried several sets of springs on my '01 and ended up with H&R super sports, so I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

 

I don't know what i like better..the cars' stance or the dogs!!! All kidding aside,the drop looks great!

 

Looks great man! How much and where can I get them?

 

I got them for $225, and I know the local shops here in OC carry them.

 

looks great! Where did you get your wheels? I noticed that you are running a 285 in the rear, what are you running in the front, and are you running 18x9's all around.

 

Crossroadzdirect.com for the 18x9 wheels


running 255's in the front

 

thanks.

 

Wow, that's quite a difference from stock height. Looks awesome!

 

Wow that stance is Freaking sweet, I was thinking of going with the ford suspension set-up, springs dampers, and swaybars. But those H&R's look awesome. A couple of questions, did you install new shocks that are for lowered cars, or are they stock. How is the ride, free way, and city streets now that you have had a few days with the new set-up. I also agree with an earlier thread above, although I love body kits, especially 3D carbon's the car looks amazing with just a drop and the right size rims and tires............Maybe a duck tail too...

 

No, I did not install new shocks. Everyone I have talked to has said I do not need them.

The ride on the freeway is great...I have hit a couple goos sized bumps on the I5 and you notice it more than stock, but the ride is still nice. Same for the street.


I will be getting a ducktail, as soon as someone makes a good one that doesn't look tacked on.
